The response of tobacco plants genetically engineered with the AtTPS1 gene to stress induced by excess Cu and Cd was evaluated in hydroponic solution (100 and 400 lM Cu and 50 and 200 lM Cd) after a 48 h exposure. Two transgenic lines, transformed with the AtTPS1 (trehalose-6-phosphate synthase) gene from Arabidopsis, with different levels of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase expression (B5H, higher and B1F, lower...

This volume provides the readers with a background for understanding cadmium toxicity, its environmental and health aspects, and its remediation mechanisms. Various chapters included in this book provide a state-of-the-art account of the inf...
During their life span, plants can be subjected to a number of abiotic stresses, like drought, temperature (both high and low), radiation, salinity, soil pH, heavy metals, lack of essential nutrients, air pollutants, etc. When affected by one, or a combination of abiotic stresses, a response is induced by changes in the plant metabolism, growth and general development. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are a natura...
