Comparative transcriptomic characterization of aluminum, sodium chloride, cadmium and copper rhizotoxicities in <it>Arabidopsis thaliana</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Rhizotoxic ions in problem soils inhibit nutrient and water acquisition by roots, which in turn leads to reduced crop yields. Previous studies on the effects of rhizotoxic ions on root growth and physiological functions suggested tha...
