Changes in the Proteome of Leaves in Response to Long-Term Cadmium Exposure Using a Cell-Wall Targeted Approach.

Accumulation of cadmium (Cd) shows a serious problem for the environment and poses a threat to plants. Plants employing various cellular and molecular mechanisms to limit Cd toxicity and alterations of the cell wall structure were observed upon Cd exposure. This study focuses on changes in the cell wall protein-enriched subproteome of alfalfa () leaves during long-term Cd exposure.
