Cadmium (Cd) is an inorganic mineral in the earth's crust. Cadmium entry into the
environment occurs through geogenic and anthropogenic sources. Industrial activities …

More than 30 years have passed since the discovery of the first plant metallothionein in
wheat embryos, from which the emergence of a uniquely diverse metallothionein family with …

Heavy metals cause various health hazards. Using lactic acid bacteria (LAB), we tested the
biosorption of heavy metals eg cadmium (Cd)(II), lead (Pb)(II), arsenic (As)(III), and mercury …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are cysteine-rich proteins known for their strong metal-binding
capabilities, making them effective in detoxifying heavy metals (HMs). This study focuses on …

Metallothioneins are cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins. In the present study, SaMT2, a
type 2 metallothionein gene, was isolated from Cd/Zn co-hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii …

Aims Metallothioneins are cysteine-rich, metal-binding proteins, but their exact functions are
not fully understood. In this study, we isolated two metallothionein genes, BcMT1 and BcMT2 …

A type 2 metallothionein gene, SsMT2, was cloned from Suaeda salsa, a salt-and alkali-
tolerant plant, which is dominant species on the saline/alkali soil of northeast China. The …

Phytoremediation using plants is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective strategy for
removing cadmium (Cd) from soil. Plants used for phytoremediation must have a high Cd …

Excessive cadmium (Cd) content in soil poses serious hazard to the survival and
development of various organisms. Potentilla sericea, characterized by strong resistance …

Cadmium (Cd) is an extremely toxic environmental pollutant with high mobility in soils, which
can contaminate groundwater, increasing its risk of entering the food chain. Yeast …
