Abstract excerpt
To investigate how plants acquire and assimilate sulfur from their environment, we isolated and characterized two mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana deficient in sulfate transport. The mutants are resistant to selenate, a toxic analogue of sulfate. They are allelic to each other and to the previously isolated sel1 (selenate-resistant) mutants, and have been designated sel1-8 and sel1-9. Root elongation in these...
