文摘

Although aluminum (Al) toxicity represents a global agricultural problem, the biochemical targets for Al remain elusive. Recently identified Arabidopsis mutants with increased Al tolerance provide evidence of DNA as one of the main targets of Al. This insight could lead the way for novel strategies to generate Al-tolerant crop plants.
