Abstract excerpt
Iron (Fe) homeostasis in rice (Oryza sativa) requires coordinated uptake and root-to-shoot distribution and can be perturbed by competing transition metals such as cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni). This study investigated the roles of the metal transporter OsFPN1 in Fe, Co, and Ni transport. OsFPN1–sGFP localized predominantly to the Golgi apparatus. In yeast, OsFPN1 conferred phenotypes consistent with Fe/Co/Ni...
