Enhancement of catalase and superoxide dismutase activities in transgenic Escherichia coli expressing rice metallothionein isoforms
Metallothioneins (MTs) are small, ubiquitous Cys-rich proteins known to be involved in the homeostasis of essential metals, detoxification of toxic metals and protection against oxidative stress. In the present work transgenic E. coli overexpressing different rice MT isoforms including OsMT1, OsMT2,...
