Twenty-three accessions of Centrosema pubescens selected for good performance on an infertile, acid soil were tested along with 2 control lines each of C. pubescens and C. acutifolium at 18 locations in tropical America and one location in tropical China. The sites represent 3 major agroecosystem...
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) proved to be very sensitive of low pH (4.3), with large genotypic differences in proton sensitivity. Therefore, proton toxicity did not allow the screening of common bean genotypes for aluminium (Al) resistance using the established protocol for maize (0.5 mM C...

Proton toxicity interferes with the screening of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes for aluminium resistance in nutrient solution
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.)
Aluminium (Al) toxicity limits common bean productivity in acid soil regions of the tropics. To improve Al resistance of common bean, Al-sensitive Phaseolus vulgaris (SER16) was crossed to Al-resistant P. coccineus (G35346-3Q) to create 94 F5:6 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of the pedigree SER1...

As Brachiaria hybrid cv. ‘Mulato’ has adapted to acid soils with extremely low phosphorus (P) contents, its low-P-tolerance mechanisms were investigated and compared with those of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. ‘Kitaake’). Among the three plant species, the highest P-u...

Role of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in the adaptation of a tropical forage grass to low-phosphorus acid soils
Many tropical forage grasses and legumes grow well in acid soils, adapting to excess aluminum (Al) and phosphorus (P) starvation stresses by using mechanisms that are still unclear. To determine these mechanisms, responses to Al toxicity and P starvation in three tropical forages were studied: tw...

Low phosphorus (P) supply is a major limitation to pasture establishment and production in highly weathered acid soils. Previous research showed that the forage legume, Arachis pintoi, was more efficient in acquiring P from infertile acid soils than the forage grass, Brachiaria dictyoneura. The m...
