7.2.2.14	physiological function	silencing of MGT6 in transgenic plants by RNA interference results in growth retardation under the low-Mg2+ condition. RNAi plants contain lower levels of Mg2+ compared with wild-type plants under low Mg2+ but not under Mg2+-sufficient conditions. MGT6 plays a key role in Mg2+ uptake by roots under Mg2+ limitation	Arabidopsis thaliana
