Abstract
AbstractIn this chapter, I summarize the knowledge about Cs+ transport genes in plants, which would be potential candidates for breeding targets of low-Cs crops. After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, vigorous studies about Cs transport in crops have revealed various Cs+ transport systems. Most reported Cs+ transport systems were potassium ion transporters (KUP/HAK/KT family), but some were free from potassium ion transport systems such as SNARE Sec22p/SEC22 and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins. Diversity of Cs+ transport systems would encourage projects of making low-Cs crops.
