TL;DR: It is confirmed that Fe deficiency causes consistent changes both in the xylem sap and leaf metabolite profiles, and these data suggest that in low photosynthesis, C-starved Fe-deficient plants anaplerotic reactions involving amino acids can be crucial for short-term survival.

Oxidative stress is a consequence, not a cause, of aluminum toxicity in the forage legume Lotus corniculatus

New Phytologist, 193(3), 625–636.

Contributors: J. Navascués*

author keywords: aluminum (Al) toxicity; metabolomics; organic acids; oxidative stress; proteomics; superoxide dismutase
TL;DR: It is concluded that oxidative stress is not a causative factor of Al toxicity and the increased contents in roots of two powerful Al chelators, malic and 2-isopropylmalic acids, together with the induction of an Al-activated malate transporter gene strongly suggest that both organic acids are implicated in Al detoxification.
