Understanding how seeds obtain and store nutrients is key to developing crops with higher
agronomic and nutritional value. We have uncovered unique patterns of micronutrient …

Metal accumulation in seeds is a prerequisite for germination and establishment of plants
but also for micronutrient delivery to humans. To investigate metal transport processes and …

Abstract METAL TOLERANCE PROTEIN8 (MTP8) of Arabidopsis thaliana is a member of
the CATION DIFFUSION FACILITATOR (CDF) family of proteins that transports primarily …

Cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) proteins are ubiquitous divalent cation transporters that
have been proved to be essential for metal homeostasis and tolerance in Archaebacteria …

Manganese is an essential metal for plant growth. A number of transporters involved in the
uptake of manganese from soils, and its translocation to the shoot, have been identified in …

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 …

Manganese (Mn) is an important micronutrient element required for plant growth and
development, playing catalytic roles in enzymes, membranes and DNA replication. The tea …

Iron (Fe) deficiency is a widespread nutritional disorder on calcareous soils. To identify
genes involved in the Fe deficiency response, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transfer …

Transporters involved in manganese (Mn) uptake and intracellular Mn homeostasis in
Arabidopsis and rice are well characterized, while much less is known for barley, which is …

Manganese is an essential micronutrient for plant growth but can be toxic to plants when it
reaches excessive levels. Although metal tolerance proteins (MTPs), which belong to the …
