AtALMT1 (Arabidopsis thaliana ALuminum activated Malate Transporter 1) encodes an Arabidopsis thaliana malate transporter that has a pleiotropic role in Arabidopsis stress tolerance. Malate released through AtALMT1 protects the root tip from Al rhizotoxicity, and recruits beneficial rhizobacteria that induce plant immunity. To examine whether the overexpression of AtALMT1 can improve these traits, the gene, driven by the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, was introduced into the Arabidopsis ecotype Columbia. Overexpression of the gene enhanced both Al-activated malate excretion and the recruitment of beneficial bacteria Bacillus subtilis strain FB17. These findings suggest that overexpression of AtALMT1 can be used as an approach to enhance a plant's ability to release malate into the rhizosphere, which can enhance plant tolerance to some environmental stress factors.
