The Moss <i>Leptodictyum riparium</i> Counteracts Severe Cadmium Stress by Activation of Glutathione Transferase and Phytochelatin Synthase, but Slightly by Phytochelatins

The Moss <i>Leptodictyum riparium</i> Counteracts Severe Cadmium Stress by Activation of Glutathione Transferase and Phytochelatin Synthase, but Slightly by Phytochelatins

In the present work, we investigated the response to Cd in <i>Leptodictyum riparium</i>, a cosmopolitan moss (Bryophyta) that can accumulate higher amounts of metals than other plants, even angiosperms, with absence or slight apparent damage. High-performance liquid chromatography follow...
