Overexpression of the metallothionein gene PaMT3-1 from Phytolacca americana enhances plant tolerance to cadmium
Metallothionein (MT) is a cysteine-rich, low-molecular-weight protein that can bind to cadmium ions and reduce their toxicity to plants. In this study, we cloned the PaMT3-1 gene encoding an unstable protein of 6...
