Calvin Digital Commons - Summer Research: Regulation of Apple Acidity: Is it Protein Turnover of ALMT Transporter?
 

Start Date

2021

Description

  • The aluminum activated malate transporter (ALMT) family of anion channels plays an essential role in plant mineral nutrition processes, fruit quality, and responses to abiotic stress.
  • Transport facilitated by membrane transport proteins is regulated at the transcriptional and post-translational levels.
  • In the case of apple two allelic variants of the vacuolar ALMT9 transporter (a full length and a truncated protein, respectively) influences the levels of the fruit’s acidity.
