Abstract excerpt
We have identified a detoxifying efflux carrier from Arabidopsis using a functional cloning strategy. A bacterial mutant, KAM3, is deficient in multidrug resistance and does not survive on medium containing norfloxacin. After transformation of KAM3 cells with an Arabidopsis cDNA library, transformants were selected for restored growth on the toxic medium. One cDNA clone that complemented KAM3 encodes a novel...
