Transgenerational memory of gene expression changes induced by heavy metal stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Transgenerational memory of gene expression changes induced by heavy metal stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Abstract Background Heavy metal toxicity has become a major threat to sustainable crop production worldwide. Thus, considerable interest has been placed on deciphering the mechanisms that allow plants to combat heavy metal stress. Strategies to deal with heavy metals are largely focused on detoxific...
