Abstract excerpt
The Zn/Cd hyperaccumulating ecotype (HE) of Sedum alfredii Hance can accumulate 24- and 28-fold higher leaf and stem Zn concentrations when compared with the non-hyperaccumulating ecotype (NHE) of Sedum. Heterologous expression of a metal tolerance protein (MTP1) encoding gene from HE plants (SaMTP1) or the homologous gene from NHE plants (SnMTP1) suppressed Zn(2+) hypersensitivity in the Δzrc1 yeast mutant. In...
