Working model to account of PotriNRAMP3.1 role in Mn transport from cell to cell. The model is based on the hypothesis that Mn moves through the transcellular pathway, being secreted in the apoplast via exocytosis by the cells proximal to the veins and taken up by the cells that are distal to the veins. According to this hypothesis, the transporters loading Mn (PotriMTP11) or unloading Mn (PotriNRAMP3.1 as well as PotriNRAMP2 assuming function conservation with Arabidopsis AtNRAMP2) from the secretory pathway would determine the amount of Mn made available by proximal cells for uptake by distal cells. In this context, efficient removal of Mn from the secretory pathway in the proximal cells by PotriNRAMP3.1 overexpression would limit Mn availability for the distal cell.
