    Summary
    In plants, long-distance transport of inorganic nutrients is important for mineral nutrition, ion homeostasis, nutrient recycling, and the detoxification of toxic or excess inorganic ions. Here, we review information on the transporters involved in the loading/unloading of inorganic nutrients to and from the vascular bundle. We also describe the methods used to obtain such information
