Abstract Background ABC proteins constitute one of the largest families of transporters found in all living organisms. In Arabidopsis thaliana 120 genes encoding ABC transporters have been identified. Here the characterization of one member of the MRP subclass AtMRP6 is described. Results This gene located on chromosome 3 is bordered by AtMRP3 and AtMRP7. Using realtime quantitative PCR RT-Q-PCR and the GUS reporter gene we found that this gene is essentially expressed during early seedling .
