The regulatory mechanisms for the aluminium (Al)-induced efflux of K(+) and malate from the root apex of Al-resistant wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Atlas) were characterized. Treatment with 20 mM tetraethylammonium (TEA) chloride, a K(+)-channel inhibitor, blocked the Al-induced K(+) efflux by
Aluminum (Al) tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is mainly achieved by malate efflux, which is regulated by the expression of the recently identified gene, presumably encoding an Al-activated malate efflux transporter (ALMT1). However, the transport mechanism is not fully understood, partly
TaALMT1 from wheat (Triticum aestivum) and AtALMT1 from Arabidopsis thaliana encode aluminum (Al)-activated malate transporters, which confer acid-soil tolerance by releasing malate from roots. Chimeric proteins from TaALMT1 and AtALMT1 (Ta::At, At::Ta) were previously analyzed in Xenopus laevis
The release of organic anions from roots can protect plants from aluminum (Al) toxicity and help them overcome phosphorus (P) deficiency. Our previous findings showed that Al treatment induced malate and citrate efflux from rape (Brassica napus) roots, and that P deficiency did not induce the
