Recent Updates on ALMT Transporters' Physiology, Regulation, and Molecular Evolution in Plants.

ABSTRACT: Aluminium toxicity and phosphorus deficiency in soils are the main interconnected problems of modern agriculture. The aluminium-activated malate transporters (ALMTs) comprise a membrane protein family that demonstrates various physiological functions in plants, such as tolerance to environmental Al³⁺ and the regulation of stomatal movement. Over the past few decades, the regulation of ALMT family proteins has been intensively studied. In this review, we summarise the current knowledge about this transporter family and assess their involvement in diverse physiological processes and comprehensive regulatory mechanisms. Furthermore, we have conducted a thorough bioinformatic analysis to decipher the functional importance of conserved residues, structural components, and domains. Ou
