摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of producing transformants with enhanced resistance and decreased uptake of heavy metals, and a plant transformed with a P type ATPase ZntA gene that pumps out heavy metals from the cells. The transformants show better growth than wild type in environment contaminated with heavy metals and have lower heavy metal contents than wild type plants. Therefore, this method of transforming plants with ZntA or biologically active ZntA-like heavy metal pumping ATPases can be useful for developing plants for phytoremediation and also for a safe crop that has resistance to heavy metals and low heavy metal contents.

摘要:
A composition for transportation of phytochelatin including two DNA molecule encoding two members of ABCC (multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP)) subfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter protein in a plant is provided. The composition for transportation of phytochelatin can be useful in accumulating and sequestering phytochelatin alone or in combination with a harmful substance by transporting the phytochelatin and/or harmful substance into the vacuole of a cell, thereby reducing a content of the toxic substance from cytosol, and also reducing it from translocation from the root to the shoot of a plant. Therefore, the DNA molecule can be useful to develop a crop in which the toxic substance present in edible parts, such as leaves, stems and fruits, of the plant is reduced in content. Furthermore, the DNA molecule can be useful to develop inedible plants for phytoremediation or phytoextraction due to an increase in accumulated amount of and resistance against arsenic, an arsenic compound and cadmium, thereby making it possible to achieve phytoremediation or phytoextraction in an environmentally friendly and economic manner.
