Title
Overexpression of AtCpNifS Enhances Selenium Tolerance and Accumulation in Arabidopsis

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect CpNifS overexpression significantly enhanced selenate tolerance by 1.9-fold.
- Intervention effect CpNifS overexpression significantly enhanced selenium accumulation by 2.2-fold.
- Intervention effect CpNifS overexpressors had significantly reduced selenium incorporation into protein.
- Intervention effect Sulfur accumulation was enhanced by approximately 30% in CpNifS overexpressors with and without selenate.
- Observation The root transcriptome response to selenate resembled sulfur starvation.
- Observation Only a few transcriptome differences distinguished CpNifS overexpressors from wild type.
- Observation CpNifS levels increased 25- to 40-fold in overexpressors relative to wild type.
- Recommendation The enhanced accumulation and tolerance of overexpressors show promise for phytoremediation.
