Manganese is an essential micronutrient for plant growth but can be toxic to plants when it reaches excessive levels. Although metal tolerance proteins (MTPs), which belong to the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) family, have been demonstrated to play critical roles in manganese (Mn) tolerance in plants, the characteristics and functions of GmMTP members in the response of soybean () to Mn toxicity have not been documented. In this study, growth inhibition was observed in soybean plants that were exposed to a toxic level of Mn in hydroponics, as reflected by the generation of brown spots, and decreased leaf chlorophyll concentration and plant fresh weight. Subsequent genome-wide analysis resulted in the identification of a total of 14 genes in the soybean genome. Among these , 9 and 12 were found to be regulated by excess Mn in leaves and roots, respectively. Furthermore, the function of , a Mn-CDF homologue of identified in the legume that is involved in Mn detoxification, was characterized. Subcellular localization analysis showed that GmMTP8.1 was localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Heterologous expression of led to the restoration of growth of the Mn-hypersensitive yeast () mutant Δ, which is made defective in Mn transport into the Golgi apparatus by P-type Ca/Mn-ATPase. Furthermore, overexpression conferred tolerance to the toxic level of Mn in Arabidopsis (). Under excess Mn conditions, concentrations of Mn in shoots but not roots were decreased in transgenic Arabidopsis, overexpressing compared to the wild type. The overexpression of also led to the upregulation of several transporter genes responsible for Mn efflux and sequestration in Arabidopsis, such as /. Taken together, these results suggest that GmMTP8.1 is an ER-localized Mn transporter contributing to confer Mn tolerance by stimulating the export of Mn out of leaf cells and increasing the sequestration of Mn into intracellular compartments.

Boron (B) is essential for plant growth and helps mitigate metal toxicity in various crop plants. However, the potential role and underlying mechanisms of B in alleviating antimony (Sb) toxicity in rice remain unexplored. In this study, we investigated the effects of H₃BO₃ supplementation (30, 50, and 75 μM) on morphological growth, physiological and biochemical traits, Sb content, and the subcellular distribution of Sb in rice plants under 100 μM Sb stress during the seedling stage in a hydroponic system.

The rare metal element molybdenum functions as a cofactor in molybdoenzymes that are essential to life in almost all living things. Molybdate can be captured by the periplasmic substrate-binding protein ModA of ModABC transport system in bacteria. We demonstrate that ModA plays crucial roles in growth, multiple metabolic pathways, and ROS tolerance in .

Two different strategies for the distribution of macro- and trace elements can be observed in the terrestrial orchid Gymnadenia conopsea. Most trace elements are not translocated to the above-ground parts, whereas for macro-elements the trend was reversed, with the highest accumulation in the distal parts of the plants. Edaphic stress is one of the main factors affecting plant fitness, but it is still poorly understood, even in rare plants such as orchids.
