Article Synopsis
- Sucrose metabolism in the roots of metallophytes is crucial for root growth and heavy metal tolerance, but limited research has addressed this area.
- In experiments with Rumex dentatus, roots from copper-tolerant plants (from a Cu mine) exhibited higher sucrose-cleaving enzyme activity compared to non-tolerant plants under Cu stress, contributing to better root growth.
- Findings revealed that acid invertase activity and sucrose levels increased in copper-tolerant plants under Cu treatment, suggesting its key role in supporting root development amidst heavy metal stress.
