Transcription profiling of wheat near-isogenic lines in response to aluminium stress to identify genes and pathways associated with aluminum stress and tolerance

ABSTRACT: Two winter wheat cultivars possessing a high tolerance to Al (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Atlas66 and the near isogenic line OK91G106, named Century-T in this work [59]) and two winter wheat cultivars with low tolerance to Al (T. aestivum L. cv. Bounty and the near isogenic line OK91G108, named Century-S in this work [59]) were grown as previously described, and treated under conditions where Al remains mostly under the Al3+ form [10]. To reduce pH variations and ensure that Al speciation was stable throughout the experiment, at least 100 ml of solution was used for each plant. The root growth inhibition (RGI) is expressed as 100 × [1- (root growth of Al-treated seedling divided by the root growth of control seedlings)]. Root tips (5-10 mm) were isolated after 24 hours of exposure to Al and f
