Article Synopsis
- Excessive cadmium in soil can harm plants and animals, but a plant called Potentilla sericea is really good at surviving it and can help improve city environments.
- Scientists modified tobacco plants to have a gene called PsMYB62, which helps them deal with cadmium stress better, making them healthier than regular tobacco plants when exposed to cadmium.
- The study showed that the modified tobacco plants had better growth, more important chemicals for survival, and could hold less cadmium than the regular plants, which can help us create plants that can clean up polluted soils in the future!
Potentilla sericea is resistant and tolerates rough management. It is an excellent garden groundcover for ecological restoration and soil consolidation for slope protection. Polyamines have functions such as promoting tissue growth and physiological resistance, while spermine synthase catalyzes the production of spermine.
