VsMATE1-Mediated Citrate Efflux Is Involved in Al Resistance in Common Vetch (Vicia sativa L.).

ABSTRACT: Planting aluminum-tolerant legume green manure is a cost-effective and sustainable method to increase soil fertility as well as decrease Al toxicity in acidic soils. By analyzing the relative root elongation of seven legume green manure species, common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) was identified as an Al-resistant species. Furthermore, cultivars 418 (cv. Sujian No.3) and 426 (cv. Lanjian No.3) were identified as Al-resistant and -sensitive cultivars, respectively, among 12 common vetch germplasms. The root growth of 418 was less inhibited by Al toxicity in both the germination stage and seedling stage than that of 426. Under Al toxicity, 418 accumulated less Al in both roots and shoots. Citrate is more abundant in the roots of common vetch compared to oxalate or malate. The internal citr
