Overexpression of phytochelatin synthase in tobacco : distinctive effects of AtPCS1 and CePCS genes on plant response to cadmium

Phytochelatins, heavy-metal-binding polypeptides, are synthesized by phytochelatin synthase (PCS) (EC 2.3.2.15). Previous studies on plants overexpressing PCS genes yielded contrasting phenotypes, ranging from enhanced cadmium tolerance and accumulation to cadmium hypersensitivity. This paper compar...
