Phytoremediation. (2005, background): “The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, for instance, has 150 different cation transporters (6), and 14 transporters for sulfate alone (56).”
Sulfur assimilation and abiotic stress in plants (2008, background): “The plant sulfate transporter gene family is divided into five distinct groups, and although not all of the respective gene products have confirmed sulfate transport activity based upon localization, functional and expression data, many may have distinct roles in S-assimilation and transport within ”
Root Development and Nutrient Uptake (2006, background): “According to the protein sequences and characteristics, the sulfate transporter gene family consists of five distinct groups (Hawkesford, 2003).”
Selenium Metabolism in Plants (2010, background): “All of the sulfate transporters in plants likely can transport selenate as well (Leustek 1996; Yoshimoto et al. 2002, 2003; Hawkesford 2003; Maruyama-Nakashita et al. 2004).”
Phytoremediation of heavy metals: Recent techniques (2009, background): “For example, the model plant thale cress (A. thaliana) contains 150 different cation transporters (Axelsen and Palmgren, 2001) and even more than one transporter for some metals (Hawkesford, 2003).”
