Effect of aluminium toxicity on root morphology of barley

Article

Conclusion

The greater tolerance of Dayton to A1 can be explained by a longer resistance of the plasmalemma towards A1 stress. Whether a stronger mucigel production could be resonsible for increased A1 tolerance has to be examined in more detail.
