Phytoremediation of Cadmium: Physiological, Biochemical, and Molecular Mechanisms
Biology, 2020 Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic metals in the environment, and has noxious effects on plant growth and production. Cd-accumulating plants showed reduced growth and productivity.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The biogeography of ectotherms is greatly influenced by their thermal tolerance, which is expected to be tightly coupled to aerobic performance. However, preferred temperatures of ectotherms often deviate substantially from aerobic performance optima. This suggests that

Zinc Supplementation Forms Influenced Zinc Absorption and Accumulation in Piglets
Animals, 2020 The study aimed at determining the effect of different zinc (Zn) supplementation forms on Zn accumulation, activities of Zn-containing enzymes, gene expression of metallothionein (MT), and Zn transporters in piglets.

Neurosignals, 1994 The metal-binding protein, metallothionein (MT) has been found to be primarily produced by astrocytes in the rat and human brain. This review discusses the relationship of glial MT to the distribution of metals in the brain, possible roles of MT in the regulation of glial enzymes and other glial proteins, and the possible role of a subset of MT ...

Structure and properties of earthworm metallothionein-2 [PDF]
Since their discovery in the 1950s, metallothioneins (MTs) have been isolated from an array of organisms, from sea urchins to sheep, and pigs to peas.

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.The redox‐sensitive transcriptional repressor ZmMS1 coordinates reactive oxygen species homeostasis and lipid allocation for pollen exine and anther cuticle formation. Loss or precocious expression of ZmMS1 causes male sterility. Constitutive overexpression induces dwarfism and semi‐sterility. These findings enable flexible maize male‐sterility systems

Analysis of metallothionein gene structure in sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) during copper exposure
Majallah-i ̒Ilmī-i Shīlāt-i Īrān, 2017 Aquatic organisms present, not only simple sources of accumulated metal, but can interact with metals, altering their toxicity. Due to exposition of biosphere with metals, organisms have developed various defense mechanisms to protect themselves against ...

Single‐Nucleus Transcriptome Analysis Provides New Insights Into B Chromosome Elimination in Sorghum
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT B chromosomes are supernumerary entities found in many plant species, with some exhibiting tissue‐specific elimination. In Sorghum purpureosericeum, extensive B chromosome elimination occurs during embryogenesis affecting most of the embryonic organs, leaving the B chromosome maintained mainly in limited regions of meristems.

Expression of recombinant metal-binding proteins in E. Coli and in Synechococcus PCC7942: examination of metal binding in vivo and vitro [PDF]
, 1992 Metallothioneins (MTs), cysteine-rich proteins and polypeptides, are proposed to detoxify excess intracellular metal ions via sequestration. Three genes, each encoding a protein related to this group of molecules, were expressed in Escherichia coli and ...
