“…The Al-activated mechanism of malate exudation is well described in wheat (Delhaize et al, 1993;Sasaki et al, 2004), Arabidopsis (Hoekenga et al, 2006), Brassica napus (Ligaba et al, 2006), and rye (Collins et al, 2008), whereas the mechanism of Al tolerance in maize, soybean, sorghum, and barley involves mainly citrate release (Pellet et al, 1995;Yang et al, 2000;Magalhaes et al, 2007;Furukawa et al, 2007;Maron et al, 2010).…”
