General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function to verify whether spermidine synthase can confer long-term multi-heavy metal tolerance, in vitro shoots of a transgenic European pear overexpressing apple SPDS are subjected to stress using either CdCl2, PbCl2, ZnCl2, or a combination thereof. The results suggest that spermidine-levels are implicated in enhanced heavy metal tolerance, possibly by exerting an antioxidant activity as well as by the properties of spermidine per se including metal chelator Malus domestica
