Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Al exposure increased major organic acids in sorghum roots and leaves.
- Association Organic acid contents were higher in the Al-tolerant cultivar.
- Observation Malic and t-aconitic acids were most abundant and changed most under Al.
- Intervention effect Al changed activities of most studied organic metabolism enzymes.
- Observation Al effects on malic acid metabolism were prominent for root fumarase and malate dehydrogenase.
- Observation Leaf fumarase showed a prominent Al effect.
- Observation Root citrate dehydratase showed a prominent Al effect.
- Mechanism Organic acids, especially malic acid, probably contribute to Al tolerance.
- Mechanism The authors support mainly internal detoxification through organic acid metabolism as the basis of Al tolerance.
