Involvement of a broccoli COQ5 methyltransferase in the production of volatile selenium compounds.

Plant physiology - 1 Oct 2009

Abstract excerpt

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for animals and humans but becomes toxic at high dosage. Biologically based Se volatilization, which converts Se into volatile compounds, provides an important means for cleanup of Se-polluted environments. To identify novel genes whose products are involved in Se volatilization from plants, a broccoli (Brassica oleracea var italica) cDNA encoding COQ5 methyltransferase...
