In acidic soils, aluminum (Al) toxicity inhibits the growth and development of plant roots and affects nutrient and water absorption, leading to reduced yield and quality. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate and identify candidate genes for Al tolerance and elucidate their physiological and molecular mechanisms under Al stress. In this study, we identified a new gene OsAlR3 regulating Al tolerance, and analyzed its mechanism from physiological, transcriptional and metabolic levels.

- Soluble aluminum ions in acid soils significantly hinder global crop production, particularly affecting rice growth due to Al toxicity.
- This study analyzed the differences in aluminum tolerance between two rice landraces: the tolerant Shibanzhan (KR) and the sensitive Hekedanuo (MR), using transcriptomics and metabolomics methods.
- Findings indicated that genes linked to phenylpropanoid biosynthesis are crucial for Al tolerance, with specific candidate genes identified that may play a role in enhancing rice's resistance to Al stress.
