Structure, expression and chromosomal localisation of the metallothionein-like gene family of tomato.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Jul 1998

Giritch A, Ganal M, Stephan U W, Bäumlein H

Abstract excerpt

Metallothioneins are small cysteine-rich proteins with strong binding capacity for heavy metals. In animals and fungi they are involved in cellular detoxification processes. Although genes for similar proteins exist in plants, less is known about the putative functions of their protein products. Here, we describe the characterisation of cDNAs specific for four genes (LEMT1, LEMT2, LEMT3 and LEMT4) encoding...
