Activation of Rice Yellow Stripe1-Like 16 (OsYSL16) Enhances Iron Efficiency

The Phytosiderophore Efflux Transporter TOM2 Is Involved in Metal Transport in Rice

“…These results suggest that OsYSL2 is important for phloem transport of metals into seeds. In addition, OsYSL16 and OsYSL18, Fe(III)-DMA transporters, are specifically expressed in the xylem or phloem and reproductive organs (29,38,61). These results suggest that the expression of specialized transporters in restricted areas is necessary to maintain metal homeostasis throughout the plant body.…”

Influence of Soil Chemistry and Plant Physiology in the Phytoremediation of Cu, Mn, and Zn

“…(Figure layout (and other metals) from the cortex to the pericycle (Araki et al, 2011). OsYSL16 is a Cu-NA transporter required to deliver Cu to developing young tissues and seeds through phloem transport (Lee et al, 2012;Zheng et al, 2012). In Arabidopsis root, the plasma membrane AtYSL1 and AtYSL3 were proven to be involved in the root-to-shoot and shoot-to-seed transport of Cu as well as other metals (Chu et al, 2010;Waters and Grusak, 2008).…”

Zinc – An Indispensable Micronutrient

“…2) and are derived from the precursor nicotinamine. These molecules bind to metals and chelate them and specific plasma membrane transporter proteins import these metal-PS complexes into the plants (Lee et al 2012).…”
