Abstract excerpt
Although the vacuole is the most important final store for toxic heavy metals like cadmium (Cd(2+)), our knowledge on how they are transported into the vacuole is still insufficient. It has been suggested that Cd(2+) can be transported as phytochelatin-Cd(2+) by an unknown ABC transporter or in exchange with protons by cation/proton exchanger (CAX) transporters. To unravel the contribution of vacuolar...
