Abstract excerpt
Recently, a new member of the ABC transporter superfamily of Arabidopsis, AtMRP5, was identified and characterized. In the present work, we found that AtMRP5 can bind specifically to sulfonurea when it is expressed in HEK293 cells. We also present evidence for a new role of AtMRP5 in the salt stress response of Arabidopsis. We used reverse genetics to identify an Arabidopsis mutant (atmrp5-2) in which the AtMRP5...
