The transcription factor CsART1 activates the aluminum transporter CsALS3s to promote the absorption and tolerance of aluminum in tea plants.

Tea plants are typical aluminum hyperaccumulators, characterized by high aluminum accumulation in roots and old leaves. However, the systematic mechanisms underlying aluminum uptake and translocation in tea plants remain largely unclear. Here, we characterized the functions of the transporter CsALS3s and their transcri...
