The zinc hyperaccumulator plant Arabidopsis halleri is able to naturally accumulate 100‐fold
higher leaf zinc concentrations when compared with non‐accumulator species such as the …

Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, but its trivalent ionic form is
highly toxic to all organisms at low concentrations. How Al enters cells has not been …

During seed germination, iron (Fe) stored in vacuoles is exported by the redundant
NRAMP3 and NRAMP4 transporter proteins. A double nramp3 nramp4 mutant is unable to …

Heavy metal ions such as Cu2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Ni2+ and Co2+ are essential
micronutrients for plant metabolism but when present in excess, these, and non-essential …

Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient in plants. However, excessive Mn absorption
in acidic and waterlogged soils can lead to Mn toxicity. Despite their essential roles in Mn …

Manganese (Mn) cation diffusion facilitators (Mn-CDFs) play important roles in the Mn
homeostasis of plants. In rice, the tonoplast-localized Mn-CDF metal tolerance protein 8.1 …

The MTP1 protein of Arabidopsis thaliana belongs to a ubiquitous family of transition metal
transporters that extrude metal ions from the cytoplasm. In a recent publication, Yoshihiro …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient required for plant growth and development. In
Arabidopsis thaliana, several families of Zn transporters engaged in Zn import, export and …

Manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) are essential mineral micronutrients for plants and their
deficiency and or toxicity represents a serious agricultural problem. In rice the information …

Plants directly assimilate minerals from the environment and thus are key for acquisition of
metals by all subsequent consumers. Limited bio-availability of copper, zinc and iron in soil …
