Development of transgenic hybrid sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua x L. formosana) expressing γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase or mercuric reductase for phytoremediation of mercury pollution

2009-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Using Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer, we generated transgenic hybrid sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua x L. formosana) overexpressing two types of genes to enhance plant remediation of mercury-contaminated soil and water: bacterial γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase gene (ECS), the first and most important enzyme in phytochelatin synthesis, or various genes encoding a mercuric ion reductase (merA9, merA18, merA77...
