Role of polar localization of the silicon transporter OsLsi1 in metalloid uptake by rice roots
{{output}}
Low silicon (Si) rice 1 (OsLsi1) is a key transporter mediating Si uptake in rice (Oryza sativa). It is polarly localized at the distal side of the root exodermis and endodermis. Although OsLsi1 is also permeable to other metalloids, such as boron (B), germani... ...
