Aluminum toxicity limits plant growth in acid soils. Because of their advanced state of weathering, acid soils of the tropics also tend to be deficient in nutrients. A realistic assessment of plant adaptation to these soils would therefore require Al-toxic conditions under which growth is simulta...

Simulating infertile acid soils with nutrient solutions: The effects on Brachiaria species
Phosphorus (P) deficiency and aluminium (Al) toxicity are widespread in Oxisols of the tropical savannas of eastern Colombia. A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of Al toxicity and P deficiency on plant growth and nutrient uptake of two Brachiaria species. To examine the infl...

Alfalfa or lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage legume grown extensively in the world. There have been relatively few investigations on the adaptation of alfalfa to soils found in suitable eco-zones in Africa. In the present investigations, twenty accessions were evaluated for tole...

Sesbania have multifarious utilization, and in many instances growth rate is one of the most important criteria for the selection of suitable Sesbania. This paper reports results of a study on the growth rates of Sesbania on two acid soils both low in available P, but one with toxic levels of Al....

We previously developed a new simple technique of methylene blue (MB) staining for the discrimination of aluminum (Al)-tolerant protoplasts from 4 plant species (rice, oats, maize and pea). The objectives of the present study were to confirm the applicability of this technique to a wider range of...

Sesbania, particularly S. sesban species, grow naturally in many parts of Africa where they form natural browse. Productivity of Sesbania as animal feed is widely limited by soil acidity and low In this study, eighteen ILCA accessions of S. sesban and two of S. goetzei, all but two from Africa, w...

Background and Aims: Aluminium (Al) resistance in common bean is known to be due to exudation of citrate from the root after a lag phase, indicating the induction of gene transcription and protein synthesis. The aims of this study were to identify Al-induced differentially expressed genes and to ...
