Breeding for Al Tolerance by Unravelling Genetic Diversity in Bread Wheat

  • Chapter
Aluminum Stress Adaptation in Plants

Part of the book series: Signaling and Communication in Plants ((SIGCOMM,volume 24))

Abstract

Globally, Aluminium (Al) toxicity not only restricts cultivation of crop plants but also causes substantial losses in their production in areas where acidic soils are more prevalent. As plants are sessile, their roots are continuously exposed to Al when growing in acid mineral soils. Thus, the evolution of Al tolerance mechanisms is a prerequisite for plants to perform in these soils. Wheat is a major crop consumed by most of the human population around the world, and its demand is ever increasing. However, wheat is rather sensitive to Al toxicity, more than other major cereal crops, especially rice and maize. In this context, it has become imperative to develop Al-tolerant wheat cultivars which will help ameliorate this problem in a sustainable manner. Therefore, in order to develop improved cultivars for Al tolerance, information on both the manifestation of Al toxicity and the existence of natural variation is a prerequisite which facilitates the further elucidation of different mechanisms on the physiological, genetic and molecular levels. The improvement of any trait by plant breeding mainly relies on the availability of efficient screening techniques, but the pace of improvement depends on easy and reliable phenotyping techniques. In this chapter, we presented the advances made so far on Al tolerance in wheat with special focus on future perspectives, aiming to help for further improvement of Al tolerance in wheat in a sustainable way.
