in acid soils, aluminium toxicity is the primary factor limiting crop and forage production. at soil ph < 5.0, al solubility increases and al appears to be rhizotoxic. the objectives of the present study were to compare al tolerance among wild graminae of acid meadows and to evaluate the relation between a plant functional trait and the al resistance, in nutrient solution. in addition, a sensit...

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OEC) have been successfully used to stimulate the growth of injured fibers and to promote functional recovery within the injured adult CNS. These cells exhibit functional properties, which are known to be involved in axonal elongation. OEC express high level of growth factors including NGF, GDNF, BDNF and NT-3, which are known to play an important role in nerve rege...
