Popis: | Aluminium (Al), a limiting factor for crop productivity in acidic soils (pH ≤ 5.5), imposes drastic constraints for food safety in developing countries. The major mechanisms that allow plants to cope with Al involve manipulations of organic acids metabolism and DNA-checkpoints. When assumed individually both approaches have been insufficient to overcome Al toxicity. On analysing the centre of origin of most cultivated plants, we hypothesised that day-length seems to be a pivotal agent modulating Al tolerance across distinct plant species. We observed that with increasing distance from the Equator, Al tolerance decreases, suggesting a relationship with the photoperiod. We verified that long-day (LD) species are generally more Al-sensitive than short-day (SD) species, whereas genetic conversion of tomato for SD growth habit boosts Al tolerance. Reduced Al tolerance correlates with DNA-checkpoint activation under LD. Furthermore, DNA-checkpoint-related genes are under positive selection in Arabidopsis accessions from regions with shorter days, suggesting that photoperiod act as a selective barrier for Al tolerance. A diel regulation and genetic diversity affect Al tolerance, suggesting that day-length orchestrates Al tolerance. Altogether, photoperiodic control of Al tolerance might contribute to solving the historical obstacle that imposes barriers for developing countries to reach a sustainable agriculture. |
