but also for micronutrient delivery to humans. To investigate metal transport processes and
their interactions in seeds, we focused on METAL TOLERANCE PROTEIN8 (MTP8), a
tonoplast transporter of the manganese (Mn) subclade of cation diffusion facilitators, which
in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) is expressed in embryos of seeds. The x-ray
fluorescence imaging showed that expression of MTP8 was responsible for Mn localization …
Metal accumulation in seeds is a prerequisite for germination and establishment of plants
but also for micronutrient delivery to humans. To investigate metal transport processes and
