“…Plants regulate nutrient uptake and translocation through a variety of transport proteins. The abundance of these nutrient transporters is regulated through multiple steps, including RNA transcription, protein translation, and post-Golgi trafficking processes (i.e., secretion, endocytosis, recycling, and vacuolar transport) (Paez Valencia et al, 2016; Gu et al, 2017; Ivanov and Vert, 2021; González Solís et al, 2022). In plants, specific mineral transporters located in the plasma membrane (PM), such as IRON-REGULATED TRANSPORTER 1 (IRT1), PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER 1 (PHT1), and REQUIRES HIGH BORON 1 (BOR1), undergo ubiquitination and subsequent vacuolar sorting for degradation in response to an increase in their substrate concentration (Takano et al, 2005; Kerkeb et al, 2008; Bayle et al, 2011; Barberon et al, 2011; Kasai et al, 2011; Huang et al, 2013).…”
