“…In Arabidopsis thaliana , there are 58 members in the MATE family of which only two, AtFRD3 and AtMATE, have been characterized with respect to citrate exudation in response to Al toxicity (Durrett, Gassmann, & Rogers, ; L. Li, He, Pandey, Tsuchiya, & Luan, ; J. Liu, Magalhaes, Shaff, & Kochian, ). In addition to abiotic stress regulation, MATE transporters play roles in regulation of hormone levels and developmental process (Upadhyay et al, ). ADP1 is known to regulate local auxin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis (R. Li et al, ).…”
