Genetic improvement of aluminum (Al) tolerance is one of the cost-effective solutions to improve plant productivity in acidic soils around the world. This study was performed to progress our understanding of the genetic mechanisms of aluminum tolerance underlying wheat ( L.) flag leaf morphological and physiological traits.

A factorial greenhouse experiment as a completely randomized design with three replications was performed to study the effect of different biochars on the spinach growth in a calcareous soil with different levels of nickel (Ni). The first factor consisted of biochars (control (CL), licorice root pulp (LRB), and rice husk (RHB) prepared at two pyrolysis temperatures (350 °C and 550 °C), each at 2.
