Abstract excerpt
Cadmium (Cd) pollution has aroused increasing attention due to its toxicity. It has been proved that Na+/H+ Antiporter (NHX1) encodes a well-documented protein in Na+/H+ trafficking, which leads to salt tolerance. This study showed that Glycine max Na+/H+ Antiporter (GmNHX1) improved short-term cadmium and salt resistance in Lemna turionifera 5511. Expression of GmNHX1 prevented root from abscission and cell...
