The Multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) and aluminium activated malate transporter (ALMT) gene families are involved in response to aluminium (Al) stress. In this study, we identified 48 MATE and 14 ALMT gene families in Vigna radiata genome and classified into 5 (MATE) and 3 (ALMT) clades by phylogenetic analysis. All the VrMATE and VrALMT genes were distributed across mungbean chromosomes. Tandem duplication was the main driving force for evolution and expansion of MATE gene family. Collinearity of mungbean with soybean indicated that MATE gene family is closely linked to Glycine max. Eight MATE transporters in clade 2 were found to be associated with previously characterized Al tolerance related MATEs in various plant species. Citrate exuding motif (CEM) was present in seven VrMATEs of clade 2. Promoter analysis revealed abundant plant hormone and stress responsive cis-elements. Results from quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) revealed that VrMATE19, VrMATE30 and VrALMT13 genes were markedly up-regulated at different time points under Al stress. Overall, this study offers a new direction for further molecular characterization of the MATE and ALMT genes in mungbean for Al tolerance.

Aluminum (Al), a non-essential metal for plant growth, exerts significant phytotoxic effects, particularly on root growth. Anthropogenic activities would intensify Al's toxic effects by releasing Al into the soil solution, especially in acidic soils with a pH lower than 5.5 and rich mineral content.

The WRKY transcription factors (TFs) are one of the largest families of TFs in plants and play multiple roles in plant growth and development and stress response. In this study, encoding a WRKY transcription factor was functionally characterized in Arabidopsis and soybean. The GmWRKY21 protein containing a highly conserved WRKY domain and a CH zinc-finger structure is located in the nucleus and has the characteristics of transcriptional activation ability.

Aluminum (Al) stress restricts plant seed germination and seedling growth seriously. Here, the sunflower "S175″ variety was used to explore the technique of improving seed vigor under Al stress and investigate the effect of diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6) on physiological characteristics in sunflower seeds during germination under Al stress. The results showed that 3.

Background: A major limiting factor for plant growth is the aluminum (Al) toxicity in acidic soils, especially in tropical regions. The exclusion of Al from the root apex through root exudation of organic acids such as malate and citrate is one of the most ubiquitous tolerance mechanisms in the plant kingdom. Two families of anion channels that confer Al tolerance are well described in the literature, ALMT and MATE family.
