General Information

General Information Comment Organism
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
