OsNRAMP3 is a vascular bundles-specific manganese transporter that is responsible for manganese distribution in rice.

Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element for plants. Recently, the genes responsible for uptake of Mn in plants were identified in Arabidopsis and rice. However, the mechanism of Mn distribution in plants has not been clarified. In the present study we identified a natural resistance-associated...
