   2.3.2.15 | agriculture |
reduction of the level of arsenic (As) in rice grains is an important challenge for agriculture. Phytochelatin synthase OsPCS1 plays a crucial role in reducing arsenic levels in rice grains. Transgenic plants highly expressing OsPCS1 show significantly lower As levels in grains compared to wild-type plants. PCS1 is a good candidate tool to reduce As levels in rice grains |

enhanced biosynthesis of cadmium(II)-selenide (CdS) nanoparticles (NPs) through Arabidopsis thaliana phytochelatin synthase-modified Escherichia coli with fluorescence effect in detection of pyrogallol and gallic acid. CdS NPs act as a classical II-VI semiconductor with various interesting properties and incomparable advantages. Enzyme PCS can effectively capture and enrich Cd2+ so that the generation and subsequent application process of CdS NPs will be greatly improved. A direct detection method based on such CdS NPs is established for determination of pyrogallol and gallic acid, two organic molecules with multiple advantages and wide applications. The method provides an excellent alternative to traditional chemosynthesis and quantitative analysis, which also displays great potential for technological improvement towards green synthesis and application.
