Metal-resistance genes and enzymes, newly identified in plants and other organisms, could be engineered into crops to help them flourish on metal-rich soils. They could also be introduced into other plants, turning them into a green cleanup crew for heavy metal contamination.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
