GENETICALLY MODIFIED PLANTS EXPRESSING P1B-TYPE ATPASE OF THE ZN+2/CO+2/CD+2/PB+2 SUBCLASS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN PHYTOREMEDIATION

摘要

Genetically modified plants able to accumulate heavy metals in shoots andmethods of removing and possibly recovering said heavy metals, using saidgenetically modified plants. Said genetically modified plants include morethan one copy of at least a sequence encoding a P1B-type ATPase of theZn2+/Co2+/Cd2+/Pb2+ subclass and that they overexpress said P1B-type ATPase.
