GENETICALLY MODIFIED PLANTS DISPLAYING REDUCED ACCUMULATION OF CADMIUM

摘要

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.
