dc.description.abstract | Plants tolerate heavy metals through sequestration with cysteine-rich peptides, phytochelatins. In this reaction, the rate limiting step is considered to be the supply of cysteine, which is synthesized by cysteine synthase (CS, EC 4.2.99.8) from hydrogen sulfide and O-acetylserine. In this study, we transformed tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants with RCS1, a cytosolic cysteine synthase gene of rice (Oryza sativa), and examined their sensitivity to cadmium. The transgenic plants had up to 3-fold higher activity of cysteine synthase than wild-type plants. Upon exposure to cadmium, they exhibited obvious tolerance with much greater growth than wild-type plants. The level of phytochelatins in shoots was higher in transgenic than in wild-type plants after cadmium treatment, suggesting that cadmium was actively trapped by phytochelatins. However, the cadmium concentration per g fresh weight of whole transgenic plants was 20 % lower than that of wild-type plants, suggesting cadmium to be either actively excreted or diluted by fast growth. Genetic analysis of progenies clearly showed segregation of cadmium tolerance, indicating that the trait resulted from the introduced gene. These results suggest that introduction of a cysteine synthase gene into tobacco plants resulted not only in high level production of sulfur-containing compounds that detoxify cadmium, but also in active elimination of cadmium toxicity from plant bodies. | - |
