physiological function | at CdSO4 concentrations up to 0.06 mM that have no or only slightly toxic effects on the growth of wild type Arabidopsis seedlings, phytochelatin synthase(PCS1) overexpression results in a decrease in Cd tolerance compared with the wild type, as mainly revealed by a reduced root growth. At higher Cd concentrations (0.09-0.18 mM CdSO4) toxic to wild type seedlings (as manifested by a significant decrease in fresh weight and root growth as well as by foliar chlorosis) PCS1 overexpression confers an increase in Cd tolerance | Arabidopsis thaliana |
