Functional characterisation of ScIRT1 and ScIREG2 transport proteins in the nickel hyperaccumulator, Senecio coronatus

Nickel hyperaccumulation is a unique plant adaption that has led to roughly 390 plant taxa being able to not only withstand the toxicity associated with Ni but actively translocate it to aerial tissues. However, the underlining molecular mechanisms that drive Ni hyperaccumulation remain unclear. Sen...
