Abstract excerpt
Magnesium is an abundant divalent cation in plant cells and plays a critical role in many physiological processes. We have previously described the identification of a 10-member Arabidopsis gene family encoding putative magnesium transport (MGT) proteins. Here, we report that a member of the MGT family, AtMGT5, functions as a dual-functional Mg-transporter that operates in a concentration-dependent manner, namely...
