The NRAMP gene family encodes integral membrane protein and mediates the transport of
Fe, however, its function in transport of toxic metal ions is not very clear in plants …

Metal cation homeostasis is essential for plant nutrition and resistance to toxic heavy metals.
Many plant metal transporters remain to be identified at the molecular level. In the present …

The uptake and translocation of non-essential heavy metals in plant are always through
metal transporters for essential micronutrient transport, such as NRAMP (Natural Resistance …

Plants need metal transporters to fulfill many essential functions ranging from metal
absorption to metal sequestration and storage. In some cases, plants also have to deal with …

The NRAMP gene family encodes integral membrane proteins mediating the transport of a
broad range of transition metals in bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. We studied the …

Metal homeostasis is critical for the survival of living organisms, and metal transporters play
central roles in maintaining metal homeostasis in the living cells. We have investigated the …

The ability of metal hyperaccumulating plants to tolerate and accumulate heavy metals
results from adaptations of metal homeostasis. NRAMP metal transporters were found to be …

Large quantities of Fe and Cd accumulate in the leaves of the metal-accumulating
leguminous plant, Crotalaria juncea. A member of the metal transporter NRAMP family was …

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 …

Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) genes encode proteins with
low substrate specificity, important for maintaining metal cross homeostasis in the cell. The …
