Isolation and expression analysis of cadmium-induced genes from Cd/Mn hyperaccumulator Phytolacca americana in response to high Cd exposure.

Abstract excerpt

Phytolacca americana is recognised as a hyperaccumulator that accumulates cadmium (Cd) and manganese (Mn). Although most studies have provided abundant physiological evidence, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of Cd accumulation in P. americana. In this study, Cd-induced genes were isolated using suppression subtractive hybridisation (SSH) library construction, and gene expression patterns under Cd...
