However, these MATE members show regulatory differences, as well as peculiarities in their genetic effect and mode of action. These aspects, which are discussed in this chapter, have to be considered to design successful breeding programmes in order to achieve maximum Al tolerance and, consequently, to improve grain and biomass production in regions of the world with Al toxicity. As shown in this chapter, target genes with major effects and molecular tools are available for marker-assisted breeding for improving Al tolerance both in sorghum and maize. However, wide adaptation to acid soils should be sought by pyramiding genes controlling different traits such as drought tolerance, P acquisition, resistance to diseases and other stresses commonly found in each agroecological environment.  aAcid soils  aBiomass production  aDisease resistance  aGene expression  aGenes  aGenetic markers  aMetal tolerance  aBiomassa  aGene  aMarcador Genético  aMilho  aSolo Ácido  aSorgo  aBreeding programmes  aDrought resistance  aExpressão genetica  aGenetic effects  aResistência a doença  aTolerância de metal1 aMAGALHAES, J.
