biotechnology | overexpression of glyoxalase II, plants are able to grow, flower, and set normal viable seeds in presence of 5 mM ZnCl2, without any penalty. Enzyme overexpression may also confer tolerance to cadmium or lead. Major sink for metal accumulation are roots. Double transgenics expressing both glyoxalase I and II perform better than single-gene transformants. Under high zinc conditions, transgenic plants show restricted methylglyoxal accumulation and less lipid peroxidation | Oryza sativa |
