Plant species exhibit different mechanism to tolerant the effect of Al3+-toxicity. Al3+ can also be translocated to the different parts of the plant through a pathway of other elements. Thus, plants can accumulate Al3+ in their roots and shoots. Al3+ contents in roots and shoots has been studied in some of the crop species. Would you please, suggest me or attach me articles related to this? I am in short of them.
Dear Belachew,

Data for plant concentrations of Al should be treated with some skepticism for two reasons. First, Field grown plants are always contaminated to some extent by soil (typically high Al concentration). This dust is impossible to remove completely. The only reliable data for roots are from hydroponics with prior desorption of exchanged Al on the surface. Second, methods of plant digestion may not quantitatively recover Al.
Dr.Milham,good points mentioned.But we not go for hydroponics in all our experiments in acid soils.It is also not so convenient to desorb the adsorbed Al ions from roots.What could be the extent of contamination of plant material with soil dust.Can we not remove the dust contamination by dilute acid washing as in case of micronutrient analysis in plant samples?
