HMA,NRAMP6 and REF transgenic poplar
We had cloned the genes HMA,NRAMP6 and REF from sedium, and get the transgenic plants poplar.
About This Project
Food safety issues caused by heavy metal contamination is a global concern, but hyperaccumulating plants could be a solution. These plants have evolved strategies for extreme tolerance to heavy metal contamination, and can remove them from polluted soils. We want to study the genome of Sedum alfredii Hance, a perennial herb, that is known to extract cadmium, zinc, and lead from soils in China and it‘s an important issue around the world.
