Functional Characterization of a Type 4 Metallothionein Gene (CsMT4) in Cucumber
The excess amounts of heavy metals are toxic to various physiological processes in plants. Plant metallothioneins (MTs) are low molecular weight, cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins that play important roles in the detoxification of heavy metal ions. In this study, we characterized CsMT4, a plant t...
