Iron has limited solubility in alkaline soils and, consequently, alkaline soils may have insufficient available iron for optimal plant growth. Plants of the family Gramineae secrete phytosiderophores, plant-derived compounds such as mugineic acid (MA) that chelate iron, enabling...

In the rhizosphere of sodic soil, aluminium (Al) and silicon (Si) are present in soluble forms. Hence, plants growing in sodic soils suffer Al toxicity, which can be ameliorated by Si. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Al and Si on the growth of Puccinellia c...
