Summary The NATURAL RESISTANCE‐ASSOCIATED MACROPHAGE PROTEIN 1
(NRAMP1) transporter guarantees plant survival of manganese (Mn) deficiency by …

Metal transporters regulated by iron can transport a variety of divalent metals, suggesting
that iron regulation is important for specificity of iron transport. In plants, the iron-regulated …

Excessive cadmium (Cd) accumulation in grains of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a risk to food
security. The transporters in the nodes of rice are involved in the distribution of mineral …

One of the most grievous heavy metal pollutants in the environment is cadmium (Cd), which
is not only responsible for the crop yield loss owing to its phytotoxicity, but also for the …

Rice is the staple food of half of the world's population; however, it is a poor source of
essential micronutrients such as Fe and Zn. Since flag leaves are one of the sources of …

Identification of mechanisms that decrease cadmium accumulation in plants is a prerequisite
for minimizing dietary uptake of cadmium from contaminated crops. Here, we show that …

Heavy metal homeostasis is maintained in plant cells by specialized transporters which
compartmentalize or efflux metal ions, maintaining cytosolic concentrations within a narrow …

Iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) are nutritional components of rice, plays an important role in
its physiological processes and can minimize absorption of cadmium (Cd) in rice. Fe, Mn …

Nramp genes code for a widely distributed class of proteins involved in a variety of
processes, ranging from the control of susceptibility to bacterial infection in mammalian cells …

The natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) gene family assists in the
transport of metal ions in plants. However, the role and underlying physiological mechanism …
