Abstract: The present invention relates to novel Pcr family genes that confer tolerance to heavy metals to plants and microorganisms. More particularly, the present invention relates to novel Pcr family genes that confer tolerance to cadmium. The invention also relates to plant and microorganisms transformed with any of the Pcr genes thereby having improved resistance to and increased level of toxic materials, and methods of removing heavy metals from contaminated soil and water contaminated by growing the Pcr-transformed plants on the contaminated soils and water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel Pcr family genes which confer tolerance to heavy metals to organisms. More particularly, the present invention relates to novel Pcr family genes which confer tolerance to cadmium. Organisms transformed with any of the Pcr genes thereby have improved resistance to and increased level of toxic materials. Soil and water contaminated with heavy metals can be cleaned in an environment-friendly and economical manner by growing the Pcr-transformed organism, especially a plant transformed with the Pcr gene.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a panel of a slim cathode ray tube constructed such that the deflection angle of an electron beam is 110 degrees or more. The slim cathode ray tube includes a tube part constituted by joining the panel and a funnel with each other. The panel includes a face part, a side wall disposed around the face part such that the side wall is bent toward the funnel, and a seal edge formed at the side wall, the panel being joined with the funnel at the seal edge. On the assumption that the thickness of the center of the face part is Tc, the thickness of the long side of the seal edge is Tx, the thickness of the short side of the seal edge is Ty, and the thickness of the diagonal part of the seal edge is Td, the panel is constructed such that the following inequalities are satisfied: 0.8?Tc/Ty?Tc/Tx?1.0?Tc/Td and Td<Tx<Ty, and the side wall has an outer skirt angle of 0.5 to 1.5 degrees.
