Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Al ions changed maize root membrane structure.
- Intervention effect Organic acids partly protected maize root membrane enzymatic activity from Al injury.
- Intervention effect Organic acids partly protected maize root membrane structure from Al injury.
- Observation Under Al stress, W64 retained higher organic acid concentrations than A632.
- Mechanism The authors hypothesize that citric and malic acid reduce Al toxicity in maize roots.
