Application

Application Comment Organism
molecular biology results show that some transgenic plants expressing serine acetyltransferase and cysteine synthase can mitigate detrimental effects of cadmium toxicity, perhaps by efficiently producing and accumulating sulfuric compounds Ipomoea aquatica

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information transgenic Ipomoea aquatica plants, which simultaneously express serine acetyltransferase and cysteine synthase are analyzed with respect to effect of cadmium on their physiological and biochemical features. Upon hydroponical cultivation in the presence of 200 microM cadmium for 7 days, two transgenic lines (SR1 and SR2) accumulated 2- to 4fold higher levels of cysteine and glutathione than the wild-type plants. Exposition to 100 microM cadmium for 30 days results in death or greatly retarded growth of wild-type and transgenic SR2 plant, whereas transgenic SR1 exhibited a 1.7fold increase in total biomass in comparison with the initial weight at day-0 of cadmium treatment Ipomoea aquatica
