Two of the three polymorphisms underlying the genetic variance-heterogeneity are promoter variants for Molybdate transporter 1 (MOT1), and the third a variant located ~25 kb downstream of this gene.
Title: The Multi-allelic Genetic Architecture of a Variance-Heterogeneity Locus for Molybdenum Concentration in Leaves Acts as a Source of Unexplained Additive Genetic Variance.

Studies indicate that AtMOT1;1 showed specific and high affinity molybdate transport process.
Title: Molybdenum metabolism in plants.

we have identified a new functional variant at MOT1 that contributes to explain most of the species' diversity in Mo homeostasis, and associated phenotypes that provide likely explanations for its non neutral evolution and its correlation to native soil.
Title: Allelic heterogeneity and trade-off shape natural variation for response to soil micronutrient.

MOT1 has a role in maintaining primary metabolism of nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur under molybdenum deficiency.
Title: Effects of molybdenum deficiency and defects in molybdate transporter MOT1 on transcript accumulation and nitrogen/sulphur metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana.

A deletion in the MOT1 promoter is strongly associated with low shoot Mo, occurring in seven of the accessions with the lowest shoot content of Mo.
