Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor for crop production in acidic soils. The diverse mechanisms by which microbes enhance plant tolerance to Al toxicity, such as Al ion absorption, regulation of metal ion transport, adjustment of rhizosphere pH, filtration of Al ions through mycelial n...
