Application

Application	Comment	Organism
environmental protection	transgenic merB plants express high levels of MerB protein and show some evidence of higher resistance to the organic mercury than wild-type plants, in order to be useful in eastern cottonwood trees to degrade methylmercury at mercury contaminated aquatic sites, merB should be combined with other genes such as merA	Populus deltoides

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment)	Organism
Agrobacterium tumefaciens are transfected with MerB, leaves of Populus deltoides are transfected with MerB by soaking in MerB transfected Agrobacterium tumefaciens bacteria, generation of transgenic merB Populus deltoides plants which are more resistant to organic mercury than wild-type plants in vitro, probably by converting it to Hg(II) in plant tissues	Populus deltoides
