TLDR
In experiments with 29 cowpea genotypes considerable variation in Mn tolerance could be found, but ranking according to Mn tolerance was almost the same in sand and water culture.
Abstract
In experiments with 29 cowpea genotypes considerable variation in Mn tolerance could be found. Ranking according to Mn tolerance was almost the same in sand and water culture. Mn tolerance is not related to greater vigour or exclusion of Mn from uptake and translocation, but depends mainly on the internal tolerance to excess Mn especially in the leaf tissue.

Molecular Mechanism of Heavy Metal Toxicity and Tolerance in Plants: Central Role of Glutathione in Detoxification of Reactive Oxygen Species and Methylglyoxal and in Heavy Metal Chelation

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to integrate a recent understanding of physiological and biochemical mechanisms of HM-induced plant stress response and tolerance based on the findings of current plant molecular biology research.

Mechanisms of adaptation of plants to acid soils

Horst Marschner
- 01 Jan 1991 - 
TL;DR: In order to have a better understanding of the principles of the mechanisms by which plants adapt to acid mineral soils more attention should be given to conditions at the root-soil interface.

Genotypic variation of the response to cadmium toxicity in Pisum sativum L.

TL;DR: The results show both similarities, as well as distinct features, in Cd toxicity expression in genotypes of one species, suggesting that independent and multi-factorial reactions modulate Cd sensitivity on the low-tolerance level of plants.

The apoplast and its significance for plant mineral nutrition

TL;DR: The contribution of the root apoplast to short-distance transport and nutrient uptakes is examined particularly in relation to Na+ toxicity and Al3+ tolerance and the role of the apolast as a habitat for microorganisms is extended to long-distance travel.

Symptome von Mangan‐Überschuß bei Bohnen (Phaseolus vulgaris)

TL;DR: Using the autoradiographic technique on 54Mn-distribution and comparing this with corresponding light microscopic studies it could be demonstrated that the blackish-brown spots in the leaves resemble Mn-precipitations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the soybeans were grown in nutrient solutions with 1.0 and 2.0 mg Fe/liter, respectively, and with 0.33 and 5.1 mg Mn/liter.
