Cd accumulation in rice shoots and grains depends on its uptake by roots, xylem-loading-mediated translocation to shoots, and further translocation to grains via the phloem. Here we present a preliminary characterizations of rice genes involved in these processes: PCS1 and PCS2, coding for two isoforms of phytochelatin synthase, and HMA2 and HMA4, belonging to the P1B-Type ATPase heavy metal transporter family.

Abstract

Cd accumulation in rice shoots and grains depends on its uptake by roots, xylem-loading-mediated translocation to shoots, and further translocation to grains via the phloem. Here we present a preliminary characterizations of rice genes involved in these processes: PCS1 and PCS2, coding for two isoforms of phytochelatin synthase, and HMA2 and HMA4, belonging to the P1B-Type ATPase heavy metal transporter family.
