Abstract:Background and Aims We aimed to evaluate the facilitation effects of an aluminum (Al) hyperaccumulator species bearing cluster roots, Gevuina avellana, on the seedling growth and performance of an Al-intolerant and P-deficient-sensitive plant, Vaccinium corymbosum.
Methods Seedlings of G. avellana and V. corymbosum were grown alone or together as follows: i) 2 G. avellana seedlings, ii) 1 G. avellana + V. corymbosum and iii) 2 V. corymbosum, in soil supplemented with Al (as Al2(SO4)3) and in the control (with… Show more
