Physiological and Proteomic Changes in Camellia semiserrata in Response to Aluminum Stress.

ABSTRACT: Camellia semiserrata is an important woody edible oil tree species in southern China that is characterized by large fruits and seed kernels with high oil contents. Increasing soil acidification due to increased use of fossil fuels, misuse of acidic fertilizers, and irrational farming practices has led to leaching of aluminum (Al) in the form of free Al³⁺, Al(OH)₂⁺, and Al(OH)²⁺, which inhibits the growth and development of C. semiserrata in South China. To investigate the mechanism underlying C. semiserrata responses to Al stress, we determined the changes in photosynthetic parameters, antioxidant enzyme activities, and osmoregulatory substance contents of C. semiserrata leaves under different concentrations of Al stre
