TRANSPORTER PARTICIPATING IN THE ABSORPTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF COMPLEX OF METAL SUCH AS IRON IN RICE AND GENE THEREOF

摘要

It is intended to provide a protein which is required in the introduction of a metal element such as iron in the form of a complex into rice cells or organelles in the cells, a gene encoding the same, etc. Namely, a transporter participating in the absorption and transportation of a metal complex in rice, and a gene encoding the same. More specifically speaking, a rice transporter which has an amino acid sequence represented by any of SEQ ID NOS:1 to 18 in Sequence Listing or the like and has a function relating to the absorption and transportation of a complex of a metal element such as iron in rice, and a gene encoding the same. Moreover, a vector containing the above-described gene, and a transformant cell having been transformed by a gene containing the above-described gene.
