Article Synopsis
- Copper is vital for plant photosynthesis, specifically for the function of plastocyanin in electron transfer at thylakoid membranes.
- In rice, a transporter called OsHMA5 is crucial for moving copper from roots to shoots, and its deficiency leads to greater copper susceptibility in plant shoots.
- Analysis shows that while some copper transporters respond to deficiency in both wild-type and mutant plants, there are notable differences compared to the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana, indicating a partially conserved copper economy response in rice.
