Citrate Secretion Induced by Aluminum Stress May Not be a Key Mechanism Responsible for Differential Aluminum Tolerance of Some Soybean Genotypes

Abstract

Eighteen soybean genotypes differing in aluminum (Al) tolerance were used to investigate genotypic differences in Al-induced citrate exudation and its role in Al tolerance. Aluminum accumulation and localization in soybean roots were examined by analysis of total Al and hematoxylin staining. Soybean genotypes exhibited a wide range of Al tolerance. Based on relative root elongation, several Al-tolerant genotypes from Brazil such as B1, B10, and B15 were more tolerant than the Al-tolerant PI 416937 (PI) and Perry. All soybeans exuded citrate in response to Al stress, and some Al-sensitive genotypes secreted more citrate than tolerant ones, showing no correlation between the Al tolerance and Al-induced citrate exudation. Further study found that both copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) stimulated citrate and malate exudation in soybean, indicating that organic acid secretion is not specifically induced by Al. Aluminum concentrations were significantly higher in 2–3 and 3–4 cm of segments than that in 0–1 and 1–2 cm segments under 15 μM AlCl₃. Both the root mature zone and apex were heavily stained by hematoxylin after exposure to 10, 15, or 20 μM AlCl₃ (24 h), whereas root elongation zone was not stained. After exposure to 50 μM AlCl₃ for 20 min, the Al-tolerant PI was less stained by hematoxylin than the Al-sensitive Young, suggesting that Al accumulation in root apices seem to be an immediate response to Al stress, and related to differential Al sensitivity. Present results suggest that citrate secretion induced by Al stress may not be a key mechanism responsible for the differential Al tolerance of some soybean genotypes and other mechanism(s) conferring Al exclusion should exist and operate immediately after exposure to Al stress.     

铝胁迫下萹蓄与饭豆根系有机酸分泌特性比较

以蓄和饭豆为试验材料,从对Al胁迫的响应时间、蛋白质合成抑制剂的影响、体内有机酸含量变化及阴离子通道抑制剂的影响等方面,比较研究了Al诱导根系分泌有机酸的差异,以进一步明确铝(Al)诱导植物根系有机酸分泌的过程。结果表明,萹蓄根系在Al胁迫后30.min内分泌出草酸,而Al胁迫至少4.h后饭豆根系才开始分泌柠檬酸;蛋白质合成抑制剂环己亚酰胺(Cycloheximide,CHM)不影响萹蓄根系草酸的分泌,但抑制了84%Al诱导的饭豆根系柠檬酸的分泌,表明前者不需要新蛋白质的诱导合成,却是后者所必需的。Al处理不改变萹蓄根尖草酸的含量,但明显提高了饭豆根尖柠檬酸的含量;阴离子通道抑制剂苯甲酰甲醛(Phenylglyoxal,PG)和蒽-9-羧酸(Anthrancene-9-carboxylic.acid,A-9-C)分别有效抑制Al诱导萹蓄根系草酸的分泌及饭豆根系柠檬酸的分泌,再次证明两者有机酸的分泌是通过某种被Al所诱导或激活的阴离子通道所实现的。     

Differential Aluminum Resistance and Organic Acid Anions Secretion in Triticale

Abstract

Triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack), a hybrid of wheat and rye, shows a high degree of aluminum (Al) tolerance, but variation in Al resistance between cultivars does exist. The mechanisms responsible for differential Al resistance in 10 triticale cultivars were investigated in this study. Triticale roots secreted both malate and citrate in response to Al stress. The amount of organic acid anions secreted was correlated positively to the relative root elongation (an index for Al resistance) and negatively to the Al content in root apices under Al stress, suggesting that the secretion of malate and citrate seems to be involved in the exclusion of Al from root tip. The Al‐induced secretion of malate and citrate was characterized using an Al‐resistant cultivar (ZC 237) and an Al‐sensitive cultivar (OH 1621). Root elongation was significantly inhibited in both ZC 237 and OH 1621 after 24 h of exposure to 30, 50, or 100 µM Al but was more strongly in OH 1621 than in ZC 237 at all Al concentrations tested. A marked lag phase (3 h) between the addition of Al and the secretion of organic acid anions was observed in both triticale cultivars, and the secretion increased with increasing external Al concentration. The two anion‐channel inhibitors, phenylglyoxal and niflumic acid, significantly inhibited the secretion of malate and citrate in ZC 237, with the degree of the inhibition of niflumic acid greater than that of phenylglyoxal. The Al‐induced secretion of malate and citrate decreased to a very low level at low temperature (4°C) in both cultivars. These results indicate that Al‐induced malate and citrate secretion from roots play important roles in excluding Al and thereby detoxifying Al in triticale. The Al‐induced organic acid anions were inhibited by anion‐channel inhibitors and were dependent on temperature.     

Aluminium-Toleranz von Ackerbohne (Vicia faba), Lupine (Lupinus luteus), Gerste (Hordeum vulgare) und Roggen (Secale cereale). I. Sproß- und Wurzelwachstum in Abhängigkeit vom Aluminium-Angebot

AI tolerance of horse bean, yellow lupin, barley and rye. I. Shoot and root growth as affected by Al supply In solution culture considerable differences existed in Al tolerance between the plant species horse bean (Vicia faba ?Herz Freya”?), yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus ?Schwako”?), barley (Hordeum vulgare ?Roland”?) and rye (Secale cereale ?Kustro”?): compared to barley (0.05 μg Al l^?1 = 1.85 μM Al) an 80 fold higher concentration of Al was necessary for lupin and rye for comparable growth depression and for horse bean a 5 times higher Al concentration. Injury by Al after 7 days of Al treatment was most effectively and sensitively characterized by an inhibition of elongation of seminal and especially of lateral roots. Numbers of laterals were also reduced. Dry matter production of roots and shoots was less affected by Al. In lupin, low Al supply even slightly increased the dry weight. The high Al tolerance of rye and yellow lupin in solution culture during the seedling stage is in good agreement with their adaptation to acid mineral soils.     

Aluminium-Toleranz von Ackerbohne (Vicia faba), Lupine (Lupinus luteus), Gerste (Hordeum vulgare) und Roggen (Secale cereale). II. Mineralstoffgehalte in Sproß und Wurzeln in Abhängigkeit vom Aluminium-Angebot

Al tolerance of horse bean, yellow lupin, barley and rye. II. Mineral element concentrations in shoots and roots as affected by Al supply Inhibition of seminal root elongation by Al in solution culture gave the following ranking for Al tolerance: yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus ?Schwako”?) ? rye (Secale cereale ?Kustro)”? « horse bean (Vicia faba ?Herz Freya”?) > barley (Hordeum vulgare ?Roland”?). Exclusion from uptake by inactivation of Al outside the root was not responsible for the higher Al tolerance of lupin and rye, because comparable inhibition of root elongation occured at much higher Al concentration of the root and the root tips (5 mm) compared to barley and horse bean. The plant species differed considerable in nutrient concentrations of the roots: higher Ca concentrations in horse bean and rye, higher Mg concentrations in rye and lupin and higher P concentration in lupin. Al supply reduced Ca and Mg concentrations (Ca > Mg) in shoots and roots of all species. P concentrations were hardly affected. The nutrient concentrations in the root tips did not indicate that induction of nutrient deficiency was responsible for the effect of Al on root elongation and Al sensitivity of barley and horse bean. The considerable differences in Ca, Mg and P concentrations of the roots between the Al-tolerant plant species rye and lupin do not suggest a common physiological mechanism responsible for Al tolerance.     

水稻品种间铝耐性差异的探究

铝毒是酸性土壤中限制植物生长的主要因子之一,探讨植物耐铝特性与机理对提高酸性土壤植物生产力具有重要意义。通过一系列生理和分子生物学试验,主要探究了Nipponbare和Kasalath两个水稻品种的铝耐性差异。结果发现,与Kasalath相比,Nipponbare在铝胁迫下不仅拥有较长的根伸长,且根尖铝含量较少,表明Nipponbare是水稻铝耐性品种,而Kasalath为铝敏感品种。进一步研究发现,水稻根尖控制铝吸收的NRAT1基因在Kasalath中表达量更高,表明,NRAT1基因的高表达量可能是导致铝敏感品种Kasalath根尖铝含量较高的主要原因。此外,铝胁迫下,Nipponbare根系柠檬酸的分泌量显著高于Kasalath。而且,水稻中控制柠檬酸分泌的OsFRDL4基因在铝耐性品种Nipponbare中的表达量显著高于Kasalath,由此证明,柠檬酸在这两个品种水稻耐铝途径中可能起着重要的作用,并且,该品种水稻可以通过调控OsFRDL4基因的表达量来控制柠檬酸的分泌量。本研究中还分析了其他4个与铝胁迫相关的基因,但并未发现明显的相关性,值得进一步的探究。     

铝和镉胁迫对两个大麦品种矿质营养和根系分泌物的影响

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study the effect of aluminum （Al） and cadmium （Cd） on Al and mineral nutrient contents in plants and Al-induced organic acid exudation in two barley varieties with different Al tolerance. Al- sensitive cv. Shang 70-119 had significantly higher Al content and accumulation in plants than Al-tolerant cv. Gebeina, especially in roots, when subjected to low pH （4.0） and Al treatments （100 μmol L^-1 Al and 100 μmol L^-1 Al ＋1.0 μmol L^-1 Cd）. Cd addition increased Al content in plants exposed to Al stress. Both low pH and Al treatments caused marked reduction in Ca and Mg contents in all plant parts, P and K contents in the shoots and leaves, Fe, Zn and Mo contents in the leaves, Zn and B contents in the shoots, and Mn contents both in the roots and leaves. Moreover, changes in nutrient concentrations were greater in the plants exposed to both Al and Cd than in those exposed only to Al treatment. A dramatic enhancement of malate, citrate, and succinate was found in the plants exposed to 100 μmol L^-1 Al relative to the control, and the Al-tolerant cultivar had a considerable higher exudation of these organic acids than the Al-sensitive one, indicating that Al-induced enhancement of these organic acids is very likely to be associated with Al tolerance.     

不同水稻品种磷利用效率与耐铝性的关系研究

铝毒和磷缺乏是酸性土壤上作物生产的主要限制因子。本研究中我们探究了5个粳稻和5个籼稻品种的磷利用效率和耐铝性之间的相互关系。结果表明,粳稻品种的耐铝性显著高于籼稻品种。对于耐铝性强的水稻品种,施加磷肥后地上部生物量显著增加,而铝敏感的品种对磷肥响应较小,这可能是由于其耐铝性差而酸性土壤中的铝毒导致根系结构和功能受损,从而影响养分的吸收和利用。不同水稻品种的耐铝性和磷吸收效率呈正比而与磷利用效率呈反比,且粳稻的地上部磷浓度及磷吸收效率高于籼稻,但磷利用效率则低于籼稻。这些结果对于酸性土壤中筛选耐铝和磷高效利用的水稻品种具有重要意义。     

黑麦品种间耐铝差异性机制研究

采用室内模拟方法,研究了铝诱导黑麦根系分泌有机酸、根尖磷对铝的固定作用。结果表明,在铝胁迫下冬牧品种（Win）相对根伸长率高于King品种。在铝胁迫下,经磷预处理的根尖铝和磷含量增加,且以Win品种根尖中的Al、P含量较高,说明根尖磷对铝的固定是黑麦耐铝机制之一。另一方面,在铝胁迫下,两品种根系均分泌柠檬酸和苹果酸,且Win的分泌速率较高。有机酸的分泌随着铝处理浓度（10、30、50 mol/L）和时间（0.5、3、6、9、12 h）的增加而增加,但在低温（4C）下柠檬酸分泌量显著减少。Al处理0.5 h后苹果酸已明显分泌,而柠檬酸的分泌在铝处理6 h后才明显增加。在铝处理前,进行缺磷预处理（3 d）不能增加有机酸的分泌,10 mol/L的La3+、Cu2+、Ni3+也不能诱导根系分泌有机酸。说明铝诱导根系专一性分泌有机酸也是黑麦品种间耐铝性差异的机制。     

The role of root border cells in aluminum resistance of pea (Pisum sativum) grown in mist culture

Root border cells are considered to contribute to aluminum (Al) resistance by protecting the root apex from Al toxicity. In the present study, the responses of root apices of pea (Pisum sativum) to Al exposure in mist culture with border cells stripped off or not were compared. Inhibition of root elongation, induction of callose synthesis, and accumulation of Al were more pronounced in root apices stripped from border cells. Aluminum application led to higher Al concentrations in border cells than in root apices. The same trend was found for Al contents in cell walls of border cells compared to root apices. The analysis of cell‐wall pectin indicated that the concentrations of total sugars, uronic acids, and 2‐keto‐3‐deoxyoctonic acid (KDO) were higher in border cells than in root apices, especially when exposed to Al. Together, these results suggest that root border cells enhance the Al resistance of root apices by immobilizing Al in their cell‐wall pectin, thus protecting the root apex.     

Aluminum tolerance associated with enhancement of plasma membrane H+-ATPase in the root apex of soybean

Abstract

Seventeen soybean cultivars were screened to discern differences in aluminum (Al) sensitivity. The Sowon (Al-tolerant) and Poongsan (Al-sensitive) cultivars were selected for further study by simple growth measurement. Aluminum-induced root growth inhibition was significantly higher in the Poongsan cultivar than in the Sowon cultivar, although the differences depended on the Al concentration (0, 25, 50, 75 or 100?μmol?L^–1) and the amount of exposure (0, 3, 6, 12 or 24?h). Damage occurred preferentially in the root apex. High-sensitivity growth measurements using India ink implicated the central elongation zone located 2–3?mm from the root apex. The Al content was lower 0–5?mm from the root apices in the Sowon cultivar than in the apices of the Poongsan cultivar when exposed to 50?μmol?L^–1 Al for 12?h. Furthermore, the citric acid exudation rate was more than twofold higher in the Sowon cultivar. Protein production of plasma membrane (PM) H⁺-ATPase from the root apices (0–5?mm) was upregulated in the presence of Al for 24?h in both cultivars. This activity, however, decreased in both cultivars treated with Al and the Poongsan cultivar was more severely affected. We propose that Al-induced growth inhibition is correlated with changes in PM H⁺-ATPase activity, which is linked to the exudation of citric acid in the root apex.     

Short‐term effects of pH and aluminium on mineral nutrition in maize varieties differing in proton and aluminium tolerance

In short‐term (24 h) nutrient solution experiments, the influence of different proton (pH 6.0 and pH 4.3) and aluminium (Al) (0, 20, and 50 μM) concentrations on root and coleoptile elongation, dry weight, and the uptake of selected mineral nutrients was studied in maize (Zea mays L.) varieties that differ in acid soil tolerance under field conditions. The acid‐soil‐tolerant maize varieties, Adour 250 and C525M, proved to be hydrogen (H⁺) ion sensitive, but Al tolerant, while the acid soil tolerant variety BR201F was H⁺ tolerant but Al sensitive. The acid soil sensitive variety HS 7777 was affected by both H⁺ and Al toxicity. The proton‐induced inhibition of root elongation was closely related to the proton‐induced decrease of the specific absorption rates (SAR) of boron (B), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and phosphorus (P). In contrast, only the specific absorption rate of B (SARB) was significantly correlated to the Al‐induced inhibition of root elongation. It is concluded, that alterations of nutrient uptake may play an important role in H⁺ toxicity, while at least after short‐term exposure to Al, alterations of Ca, Fe, Mg, or P uptake do not seem to be responsible for Al‐induced inhibition of root elongation. Further attention deserves the Al‐B interaction, moreover taking into account that a highly significant correlation between Al‐induced increase of callose concentration in root tips and Al‐induced decrease of SAR_B could be established.     

Differential tolerances of two old world bluestem genotypes to excess aluminum in acid soil and nutrient solution

Two genotypes of Old world bluestems from the species Bothriochloa intermedia (R. Br.), A. Camus, shown earlier to differ in tolerance to acid, Al‐toxic Tatum subsoil at pH 4.1, were characterized further with respect to growth in pots of Tatum soil over a wider pH range and tolerance to Al in nutrient solutions. The two genotypes studied were acid‐soil tolerant P. I. 300860 (860) and acid soil sensitive P. I. 300822 (822).

The soil experiment confirmed earlier rankings of acid soil tolerance in these two genotypes. For example, with 0, 375 or 750 ug CaCO₃ g^‐1 soil (final pH 4.0, 4.3 and 4.6), the 860 genotype produced significantly more dry top weight than 822, but these differences were precluded with 1500 or 3000 ug g^‐1 CaCO₃ added (pH 4.7 and 5.4). At pH 4.3 and 4.6, the root dry weights of the two genotypes were also significantly different and weights were equalized at pH 4.7 and 5.4. The 860 genotype made fairly good top growth (67% of maximum) at pH 4.3 and a soil Al saturation of 63%; this situation was lethal for 822. When grown in greenhouse pots, the acid‐soil tolerant 860 genotype required only about one fourth as much CaCO₃ as 822 to produce good growth of forage on acid Tatum subsoil. If confirmed under field conditions, such a difference could be economically significant in reclaiming acidic marginal land and in producing forage at low cost.

Differential Al tolerance in the two genotypes was confirmed in nutrient solutions. For example, with 8 mg Al L^‐1 added, both top and root dry weights of 860 were significantly higher than those of 822, but with no Al added, these growth differences disappeared.

Mineral analyses of plants did not shed much light on mechanisms of differential acid soil or Al tolerance. For example, Al concentrations in plant tops associated with toxicity varied from 33–43 ug g^‐1 in nutrient solutions containing Al to 119–283 ug g^‐1 in acid soil It appears that elucidation of Al‐adaptive mechanisms will require physiological and biochemical studies at the cellular level.

Proton toxicity interferes with the screening of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes for aluminium resistance in nutrient solution

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) proved to be very sensitive of low pH (4.3), with large genotypic differences in proton sensitivity. Therefore, proton toxicity did not allow the screening of common bean genotypes for aluminium (Al) resistance using the established protocol for maize (0.5 mM CaCl₂, 8 μM H₃BO₃, pH 4.3). Increasing the pH to 4.5, the Ca²⁺ concentration to 5 mM, and addition of 0.5 mM KCl fully prevented proton toxicity in 28 tested genotypes and allowed to identify differences in Al resistance using the inhibition of root elongation by 20 μM Al supply for 36 h as parameter of Al injury. As in maize, Al treatment induced callose formation in root apices of common bean. Aluminium‐induced callose formation well reflected the effect of Ca supply on Al sensitivity as revealed by root‐growth inhibition. Aluminum‐induced callose formation in root apices of 28 bean genotypes differing in Al resistance after 36 h Al treatment was positively correlated to Al‐induced inhibition of root elongation and Al contents in the root apices. However, the relationship was less close than previously reported for maize. Also, after 12 h Al treatment, callose formation and Al contents in root apices did not reflect differences in Al resistance between two contrasting genotypes, indicating a different mode of the expression of Al toxicity and regulation of Al resistance in common bean than in maize.     

Physiological basis of differential aluminum tolerance in rice genotypes

Abstract

Two rice genotypes, aluminum (Al)‐tolerant Co 37 and Al‐susceptible ADT 36, were evaluated for their physiological responses in the presence of Al stress in a hydroculture experiment. Two levels of Al (0 and 222 μmol/L) were supplied in the nutrient solution and the two rice genotypes were subjected to Al for two weeks. Root growth parameters, relative growth reduction in roots (RGRR), effects of calcium (Ca²⁺) nitrate metabolism, Al content in roots, and pH shift patterns were recorded. The Al treatments had a lesser effect on Co 37 in terms of reduction in root growth and root dry matter production as compared to ADT 36. While Co 37 did not show significant differences in response to various levels of Ca²⁺ added in the medium under Al stress, ADT 36 registered a dose‐dependent effect in circumventing the injurious effects of Al. Further, reduction in nitrate content and in vivo nitrate reductase (NR) activity in the leaf tissue in Co 37 under Al treatment was less than that in ADT 36. Moreover, Co 37 had a lower content of Al in its root tissue than did ADT 36. Co 37 was also able to shift the pH of the medium more efficiently than ADT 36, thereby minimizing the uptake of Al, and eventually reducing Al toxicity. The higher level of tolerance to Al of Co 37 seems to have emanated from an efficient nitrate metabolism and its capacity to shift the pH of the medium. It is also evident that Al toxicity in ADT 36 can be circumvented by a Ca treatment to a considerable extent. Our results offer a possible physiological basis for Al tolerance in crop plants.     

Ectomycorrhizal Association Enhances Al Tolerance by Inducing Citrate Secretion in Pinus densiflora

To investigate the effects of ectomycorrhizal association on the aluminum (Al) tolerance of Pinus densiflora Sieb. & Zucc., seedlings with or without ectomycorrhizal association with the fungus Pisolithus tinctorius (Pers.) Coker & Couch were exposed to 1 mM Al. Association with P. tinctorius alleviated Al-induced inhibition of root elongation and biomass growth in the mycorrhizal seedlings. Secretion of malate and citrate, both low-molecular-weight organic acids that could detoxify Al by the formation of stable complexes, was investigated in P. tinctorius mycelia and in pine roots with and without P. tinctorius association. Citrate secretion from the P. tinctorius mycelia in vitro was stimulated by Al. Citrate secretion from the roots of the ectomycorrhizal seedlings was also stimulated by Al, but was not detected in the non-mycorrhizal seedlings. These results suggest that citrate secreted from the roots of the ectomycorrhizal seedlings was produced in the hyphae of P. tinctorius. Citrate secretion may play a role in enhancing the Al tolerance of host seedlings.     

Differential tolerances of oat cultivars to aluminum in nutrient solutions and in acid soils of Poland

Aluminum tolerant oat cultivars are needed for use on acid soil sites where neutralization of soil acidity by liming is not economically feasible. Oat germplasm in Poland has not been examined for range of Al tolerance. Eleven Polish oat cultivars were screened for Al tolerance in nutrient solutions containing 0, 5 and 15 mg L^‐1 Al. Three of these cultivars showing high to moderate tolerance to Al in nutrient solutions were also grown in greenhouse pots of soil and in field plots of soil over a pH range of 3.8 to 5.5 as determined in 1 N KC1.

The eleven oat cultivars differed significantly in tolerance to Al in nutrient solutions. Based on relative root yield (15 mg L^‐1 Al/no A1%), the cultivars ‘Solidor’ and ‘Diadem’ were most tolerant and ‘Pegaz’ and ‘B‐20’ were least tolerant. For these three cultivars, the order of tolerance to acid soil agreed with the order of tolerance to Al in nutrient solution ‐ namely, Solidor > Diadem > Leanda. Hence, for these cultivars, the nutrient solution methods used appear adequate for selecting plants that are more tolerant to Al in strongly acid soils. Additional study is needed to assess the value of this method for screening a broad range of germplasm.

Superior tolerance of the Solidor cultivar to acid soil was associated with significantly higher concentrations of N in the grain. Hence, results suggest that selecting for acid soil or Al tolerance may increase N efficiency in oats.     

铝胁迫下大豆根系脱落酸累积与柠檬酸分泌的关系研究

为探讨铝(Al)胁迫条件下脱落酸(ABA)调控植物根系有机酸分泌的机制,进行了ABA与Al诱导大豆根系柠檬酸分泌的关系试验。结果表明:1)外源ABA和ABA合成抑制剂fluridone分别提高和降低了Al诱导的大豆根尖ABA含量的增加,但对根系柠檬酸分泌量均无影响,ABA对根系内源柠檬酸含量和柠檬酸合成酶的活性也没有影响;2)分根试验表明,与Al直接接触的根部(Part A)内源ABA含量发生变化,且有柠檬酸的分泌,而不与Al直接接触的根部(Part B)内源ABA含量也发生变化,但没有柠檬酸分泌;3)Al胁迫下,大豆耐Al基因型柠檬酸分泌量远高于敏感基因型,但二者的内源ABA含量却没有差异;4)30μmol AlCl3处理,在0~12 h柠檬酸分泌速率和内源ABA含量随Al处理时间增加而增加,去除Al胁迫时(12~18 h),柠檬酸分泌速率继续增加,但内源ABA含量则迅速下降。综合以上结果,推测ABA不是通过提高Al诱导柠檬酸分泌来调控大豆耐Al性。     

Rice and common bean growth and nutrient concentration as influenced by aluminum on an acid lowland soil

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor for crop production in many acid soils in Brazil. Two greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate response of rice (Oryza saliva L.) and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to Al levels on a Low Humic Gley acid soil. The Al levels created by liming were: 0,0.03, 0.10, 0.23, 1.03, and 3.83 cmol_c kg^‐1 of soil. Rice dry matter and grain yield were significantly improved (P<0.05) with increasing Al levels in the soil solution. However, common bean dry matter as well as grain yield were significantly (P<0.01) decreased with increasing Al levels. At 3.83 cmol_c Al kg^‐1 of soil, bean did not produce any dry matter or grain yield. On an average, Al decreased nutrient concentrations in the tops of rice plant except zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn), but in bean crop almost all the nutrients concentrations were increased with increasing Al levels. Rice showed tolerance to Al toxicity, whereas, common bean was susceptible to toxicity of this element. For successful intensive crops production lime application will be necessary in Varzea soils especially for legume production.
