  • Genetically Modified Plants Displaying Reduced Accumulation of Cadmium
    Publication number: 20110023177
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and means such as polynucleotides, recombinant expression cassettes and recombinant vectors, for reducing the accumulation of cadmium in a plant, and a transgenic plant expressing a variant of a plant P1B-type ATPase of the Zn2+/Co2+/Cd2+/Pb2+ subgroup, said transgenic plant displaying a reduced accumulation of cadmium in the aerial parts.

  • Genetically modified plants and their applications in phytoremediation
    Publication number: 20090155911
    Abstract: Genetically modified plants able to accumulate heavy metals in shoots and methods of removing and possibly recovering said heavy metals, using said genetically modified plants. Said genetically modified plants include more than one copy of at least a sequence encoding a P1B-type ATPase of the Zn<2+>/Co<2+>/Cd<2+>/Pb<2+> subclass and that they overexpress said P1B-type ATPase.
