Abstract excerpt
Phytochelatin (PC) synthesis has been well demonstrated as a major metal tolerance mechanism in Arabidopsis thaliana, whereas its contribution to long-distance element transport especially in monocots remains elusive. Using rice as a cereal model, we examined physiological roles of Oryza sativa phytochelatin synthase 1 (OsPCS1) in the distribution and detoxification of arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd), two toxic...
