Phenotype

semi-dominant; incomplete penetrance; increased aluminum resistance; enhanced root growth in the presence of levels of aluminum (e.g. 0.75 - 1.50 mM AlCl3) that strongly inhibits root growth in wild type seedlings; accumulates lower levels of Al in the root tips, suggesting Al exclusion from roots by alkalinization of the rhizosphere to a greater extent than for wild type roots; segregating for glabrous phenotype (gl1).
