Aluminum (Al) toxicity is the principal abiotic constraint in acid soils of the tropics. Common bean, meanwhile, is for the most part
very sensitive to this stress although certain genotypes within the species show some level of resistance, justifying screening of
germplasm from both the Andean a...

Identification of aluminum resistant Andean common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes
Aluminum is usually regarded as the determining factor for plant growth in acid soils and nutrient deficiencies are often additional growth-limiting factors in tropical acid soils. Taking into account the potential interactions between Al toxicity and nutrient deficiencies, the present study inve...

Greater contribution of low-nutrient tolerance to sorghum and maize growth under combined stress conditions with high aluminum and low nutrients in solution culture simulating the nutrient status of tropical acid soils
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor of crop production in acid soils, which are found mostly in developing countries of the tropics and sub-tropics. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is particularly sensitive to Al toxicity; and development of genotypes with better root growth in ...

Quantitative trait loci for root morphology traits under aluminum stress in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
The phosphorus (P) content of whole roots and root apices has been reported to increase under aluminum (Al) stress, particularly in Al-sensitive plant varieties. We investigated the impact of Al toxicity on the P content of root apices of two tropical forage cultivars of the Brachiaria genus, gro...

The initial response of plants to aluminium (Al) is an inhibition of root elongation. In the present study, short and medium-term effects of Al treatment (20??M) on root growth and Al accumulation of two common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes, VAX-1 (Al-sensitive) and Quimbaya (Al-resistan...

Aluminium (Al) toxicity and drought are the two major abiotic stress factors limiting common bean production in the tropics. Using hydroponics, the short-term effects of combined Al toxicity and drought stress on root growth and Al uptake into the root apex were investigated. In the presence of A...
