Acid soils are widespread and limit global plant production. Aluminum (Al)/manganese (Mn) toxicity and phosphorus (P) deficiency are the major limiting factors affecting plant growth and productivity on acid soils. Plants, however, have evolved various strategies to adapt to these stresses. These st...
