RAMP speeds up metallic traffic


Figure 1
Investigations of ‘model’ plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana give us a lot of good information about plant genetics, biochemistry and physiology. Despite this it is often necessary to carry out similar investigations with specific crop plants in relation to specific local situations. An example is provided by the work of Xiao et al. at Beijing (pp. 881–889), focusing on a strongly cold-tolerant apple species, Malus baccata, widely used as a rootstock in north China. Iron deficiency is a widespread problem, especially for trees grown on calcareous soils. The authors have therefore investigated at the molecular genetic level the trafficking of Fe together with Mn and Cd. NRAMPS (natural resistance-associated macrophage proteins) are highly conserved proteins, present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, that . . . [Full Text of this Article]
