Phenotypic and molecular consequences of overexpression of metal-homeostasis genes
Metal hyperaccumulating plants are able to store very large amounts of metals in their shoots. There are a number of reasons why it is important to be able to introduce metal hyperaccumulation traits into nonaccumulating species (e.g., phytoremediation or biofortification in minerals) and to enginee...
