A Review of Research Methods on Plant Aluminum Stress

The growth of plant was strongly inhibited in acid soil,and aluminum toxicity was the most important reason.Scientists have done extensive research work on aluminum-stress responses and aluminum-tolerant mechanism of plant for a long time,and have made lots of remarkable progress.In this article,a review about research methods of plant aluminum-stress was made.For material treatment methods of experiment,it introduced field cultivating,pot-planting outdoors,pot-planting indoors,and nutrient solution culture.For aluminum-tolerance identification,it introduced direct-identification methods including toxic symptoms,root relative elongation and so on,indirect-identification methods such as chemical staining and organic acid secretion.In gene research of aluminum-stress,many methods were introduced about gene mapping,gene differential expression,protein differential expression,transgenic techniques,and so on.
