high-affinity nickel-transport family protein;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes a nuclear-encoded chloroplast protein that plays an important role in vegetative growth, female gametogenesis, and embryogenesis likely by mediating chloroplast integrity and development.
A significant repression of the AT2G16800 gene was observed for the 400, 800, and 1600 mg/kg of nickel treatments compared to the water control with the lowest level of expression observed in samples treated with 800 mg/kg of Ni.
