Other claims from this paper (8)
- Method / resource CadR was successfully targeted to chloroplasts using either promoter and the RbcS transit peptide.
- Intervention effect After 2 days of Cd exposure, cadR plants accumulated up to 2.9-fold more Cd in roots than untransformed plants.
- Observation After 7 days of Cd exposure, leaf Cd concentrations increased but did not differ between wild type and cadR plants.
- Intervention effect After 16 days of Cd exposure, cadR plants accumulated more Cd in leaves than untransformed plants.
- Intervention effect Total shoot Cd accumulation was significantly higher in cadR plants, up to 3.5-fold.
- Intervention effect Total root Cd accumulation was significantly higher in cadR plants, up to 5.2-fold.
- Intervention effect Chloroplast targeting of CadR facilitated chloroplastic metal homeostasis.
- Intervention effect Chloroplast targeting of CadR facilitated chlorophyll b accumulation.
