Abstract excerpt
How cadmium (Cd) tolerance in rice is regulated remains poorly understood. We used a forward genetic approach to investigate Cd tolerance in rice. Using a root elongation assay, we isolated a rice mutant with enhanced Cd tolerance, cadt1, from an ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS)-mutagenized population of a widely grown Indica cultivar. The mutant accumulated more Cd in roots but not in shoots and grains. Using...
