Tea Plant Fluoride Transporter CsNPF2.3

Root uptake and transport of fluoride

A plasma membrane-localized fluoride transporter isolated from tea roots, with fluoride transport activity in yeast. Overexpression significantly increases fluoride content in roots, stems, and leaves and enhances root-to-leaf transport efficiency.
