Cadmium- and iron-stress-inducible gene expression in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: evidence for H43 protein function in iron assimilation.

Abstract excerpt

Early transcriptional responses of a cell wall-deficient mutant of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to heavy-metal stress have been investigated using the method of mRNA differential display. We have identified, sequenced, and quantified the induction of a number of transcripts that are up-regulated by a brief (2-h) exposure to 25 microm cadmium chloride, including one transcript which is also highly...
