The Arabidopsis Nitrate Transporter NRT1.8 Functions in Nitrate Removal from the Xylem Sap and Mediates Cadmium Tolerance

TL;DR: The functional characterization of NRT1.8, a member of the nitrate transporter (NRT1) family in Arabidopsis thaliana, suggests that NRT 1.8-regulated nitrate distribution plays an important role in Cd2+ tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vacuolar membrane transporters OsVIT1 and OsVIT2 modulate iron translocation between flag leaves and seeds in rice

TL;DR: Interestingly, functional disruption of OsVIT1 andOsVIT2 leads to increased Fe/Zn accumulation in rice seeds and a corresponding decrease in the source organ flag leaves, indicating an enhanced Fe-Zn translocation between source and sink organs, which might represent a novel strategy to biofortify Fe/ Zn in staple foods.
Journal ArticleDOI

A defensin-like protein drives cadmium efflux and allocation in rice.

TL;DR: It is shown that a defensin-like protein promotes cadmium secretion from rice cells and allocation to leaves without causing accumulation in grain, providing an efficient molecular tool to breed dual-function rice varieties that produce safe grains while remediating paddy soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arabidopsis NRT1.5 is another essential component in the regulation of nitrate reallocation and stress tolerance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a characterization of NRT1.5, a xylem nitrate-loading transporter, showed that the mRNA level of the NRT 1.5 is downregulated by salt, drought, and cadmium treatments.
