Manganese (Mn) toxicity poses a severe hazard to plant growth, with organic acids playing a crucial role in detoxifying toxic metals. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing the response of organic acids to Mn toxicity remain largely elusive, particularly in perennial fruit crops. Herein, we investigated the physio-biochemical and transcriptomic responses of peach seedlings to Mn toxicity.
