Genetic variability and evolutionary diversification of membrane ABC transporters in plants.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: ATP-binding cassette proteins have been recognized as playing a crucial role in the regulation of growth and resistance processes in all kingdoms of life. They have been deeply studied in vertebrates because of their role in drug resistance, but much less is known about ABC superfamily functions in plants. RESULTS: Recently released plant genome sequences allowed us to identify 803 ABC transporters in...
