Physiological effects induced by aluminium and fluoride stress in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb).

1. Introduction Aluminium (Al) is a major element of soil, and it turns into toxic forms when expose to acidic condition. Al3+ ions are released from clay minerals in acidic soils, which in turn inhibit root growth and reduce crop yields. It is reported that approximately 40–50% potentially arable lands are acidic in the world (Von Uexküll and Mutert, 1995). Root is very sensitive to Al3+ toxicity and root meristem is the primary site of Al toxicity (Ryan et al., 1993). Root growth in wheat
