Transporter gene knockout and plant magnesium sulfate tolerance reasoning

This chain lays out reasoning that in Arabidopsis, knockout of plasma membrane (AtMRS2-10, AtSULTR1;2) and vacuolar (CAX1, CAX3) transporter genes may result in altered tolerance to high magnesium sulfate conditions similar to those in Martian regolith, with transcriptome and ionome effects considered.
