Plants cope with aluminum (Al) toxicity by secreting organic acids (OAs) into the apoplastic space, which is driven by proton (H+) pumps. Here, we show that mutation of vacuolar H+-translocating adenosine triphosphatase (H+-ATPase) subunit a2 (VHA-a2) and VHA-a3 of the vacuolar H+-ATPase enhances Al resistance in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).vha-a2 vha-a3mutant plants displayed less Al sensitivity with less Al accumulation in roots compared to wild-type plants when grown under excessive Al3+. Interestingly, in response to Al3+exposure, plants showed decreased vacuolar H+pump activity and reduced expression ofVHA-a2andVHA-a3, which were accompanied by increased plasma membrane H+pump (PM H+-ATPase) activity. Genetic analysis of plants with altered PM H+-ATPase activity established a correlation between Al-induced increase in PM H+-ATPase activity and enhanced Al resistance invha-a2 vha-a3plants. We determined that external OAs, such as malate and citrate whose secretion is driven by PM H+-ATPase, increased with PM H+-ATPase activity upon Al stress. On the other hand, elevated secretion of malate and citrate invha-a2 vha-a3root exudates appeared to be independent of OAs metabolism and tolerance of phosphate starvation but was likely related to impaired vacuolar sequestration. These results suggest that coordination of vacuolar H+-ATPase and PM H+-ATPase dictates the distribution of OAs into either the vacuolar lumen or the apoplastic space that, in turn, determines Al tolerance capacity in plants.
