Long-distance root-to-shoot transport of phytochelatins and cadmium in Arabidopsis.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 19 Aug 2003

Gong Ji-Ming, Lee David A, Schroeder Julian I

Abstract excerpt

Phytochelatin synthases (PCS) mediate cellular heavy-metal resistance in plants, fungi, and worms. However, phytochelatins (PCs) are generally considered to function as intracellular heavy-metal detoxification mechanisms, and whether long-distance transport of PCs occurs during heavy-metal detoxification remains unknown. Here, wheat TaPCS1 cDNA expression was either targeted to Arabidopsis roots with the...
