Abstract

Recent research has shown that members of the ABC transporter superfamily such as Multidrug Resistance Associated Protein (MRP) have the potential to mediate detoxification of herbicides, alleviation of oxidative stress and storage of secondary metabolites in plants. However, little is known about the distribution and roles of MRP in agronomically important species, such as cereals. The aims of this project are to clone and characterise MRP genes from cereals, to define their roles in stress tolerance and detoxification, and to understand how they are induced in response to stress.
