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 …

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 …

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 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 …

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 …

In contrast with many other essential metals, the mechanisms of Mn acquisition in higher
eukaryotes are seldom studied and poorly understood. We show here that Arabidopsis …

NRAMP (natural resistance-associated macrophage protein) homologues are evolutionarily
conserved bivalent metal transporters. In Arabidopsis, AtNRAMP3 and AtNRAMP4 play a …

AtNRAMP3 and AtNRAMP4 are two Arabidopsis metal transporters sharing about 50%
sequence identity with mouse NRAMP1. The NRAMP1/Slc11A1 metal ion transporter plays …

Sedum alfredii is a native Chinese plant species that belongs to the group of metal
hyperaccumulators and can accumulate significant amounts of Cd and Zn in the shoot …

Abstract Background and Aims Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional
disorders in plants, especially in fruit trees grown in calcareous soil. Malus baccata is widely …
