The proteins of membrane transporters (MTs) are embedded within membrane-bounded
organelles and are the prime targets for improvements in the efficiency of water and nutrient …

Environmental changes cause abiotic stress in plants, primarily through alterations in the
uptake of the nutrients and water they require for their metabolism and growth and to …

Abiotic stress imposed by many factors such as: extreme water regimes, adverse
temperatures, salinity, and heavy metal contamination result in severe crop yield losses …

Plant transporters are crucial for nutrient acquisition, cellular homeostasis, and stress
responses. They mediate the exchange of chemicals and signals inside and outside the …

Comparative analyses of membrane transport genes revealed many differences in the
features of transport homeostasis in eight diverse organisms, ranging from bacteria to …

Plants are generally well adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions. Even though
they have notably prospered in our planet, stressful conditions such as salinity, drought and …

Abstract Background In Arabidopsis six genes group into the gene family of the organic
cation transporters (OCTs). In animals the members of the OCT-family are mostly …

Transmembrane proteins participate in various physiological activities in plants, including
signal transduction, substance transport, and energy conversion. Although more than 20 …

Main conclusion Nutrient transporter genes could be a potential candidate for improving
crop plants, with enhanced nutrient uptake leading to increased crop yield by providing …

Plant cells face many changes through their life cycle and develop several mechanisms to
cope with adversity. Stress caused by environmental factors is turning out to be more and …
