Elevated expression of SaMTP8.1 is involved in internal Mn detoxification in the hyperaccumulating ecotype of Sedum alfredii [PDF]
SUMMARY Sedum alfredii (Sa) is known as a Cd/Zn hyperaccumulator, which usually grows in soil with high Mn in its natural habitat. However, it is unclear how S. alfredii copes with high Mn at both physiological and molecular levels. In this study, we characterized the Mn accumulation and tolerance in the hyperaccumulating ecotype (HE) of S. alfredii by
