Rice NRAMP1 plays a role in Fe uptake and/or translocation from roots to the aerial parts, including rice grains. Expression of OsNRAMP1 is observed in the whole plant, i.e., the leaf blade, root, stem, anther, ovary, embryo, endosperm, and pistil. In the leaf blade and stem, OsNRAMP1 expression is higher during the reproductive stage. OsNRAMP1 also participates in Cd uptake and/or transport throughout the rice plant.
