CADMIUM ABSORPTION REGULATORY GENE, PROTEIN AND CADMIUM ABSORPTION-INHIBITING RICE PLANT

摘要

Provided are a transporter gene involved in the promotion or inhibition of Cd absorption by roots, a mutant gene thereof and a transporter protein thereof, as well as a rice plant in which Cd absorption is inhibited and a method for selecting and raising a Cd absorption-inhibiting rice plant, which are a gene encoding a transporter protein involved in the regulation of cadmium absorption, which contains the DNA nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:2, a gene encoding a transporter protein involved in the regulation of cadmium absorption, which contains the DNA nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3, a gene encoding a transporter protein involved in the regulation of cadmium absorption, which contains the DNA nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:4, and a transporter protein involved in the regulation of cadmium absorption, which contains the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.
