Abstract
Even though, Aluminum (Al) is recognized as a micronutrient, its metabolism interferes with cell divisions in root tips and lateral roots, increases cell wall rigidity, maintaining proper cellular redox state and various other biochemical, physiological and growth responses. Al is one of the most abundant elements in the earth’s crust, and toxic to many plants when the concentration is greater than 2-3 ppm with the soil pH
