Metal levels in Al-accumulating Rubiaceae
Mechanisms and patterns of Al accumulation are relevant to studies of plant systematics, physiology and ecology. Jansen et al. (657-663) compare exact metal concentrations in leaves of some Rubiaceae. They hypothesize that an Al-Si complex contributes to internal Al detoxification in Al accumulators, although the Si : Al mole ratio varies widely.
