The Arabidopsis copper transporter COPT1 functions in root elongation and pollen development. Sancenon V, Puig S, Mateu-Andres I, Dorcey E, Thiele DJ, Penarrubia L. J Biol Chem. 2004 Apr 9;279(15):15348-55. ...... mammals, high affinity copper uptake is mediated by the Ctr family of copper transporters. This work is the first report on the physiological function of copper transport in Arabidopsis thaliana. We have studied the expression pattern of COPT1 in transgenic plants expressing a reporter gene under the control of the COPT1 promoter. The reporter gene is highly expressed in embryos, trichomes, stomata, pollen, and root tips. The involvement of COPT1 in copper acquisition was ...... |
