As soil becomes more acidic, aluminum toxicity has emerged as a key issue impacting seed germination and crop productivity in such environments. Therefore, it is urgent to investigate the mechanism of the influence of aluminum stress on germination. In this study, we focused on one of the major bioenergy crops-rapeseed. Seeds of aluminum-sensitive (S) and aluminum-resistant (R) lines screened from the recombinant inbred lines (RILs) population of rapeseed were treated with 80 µg·ml
