Cloning
and characterization of heavy metal transporter family of
proteins from B. juncea

Brassica junc ea
seedlings show high
levels of lead tolerance

Brassica.
juncea or Indian mustard is a broad spectrum heavy
metal tolerant and accumulator plant. Its ability to
accumulate wide rage of essential and nonessential heavy
metals together with its rapid rate of growth makes
it a good model to study heavy metal homeostasis. Different
heavy metal transporter families are being cloned from
B. juncea in high throughput approach and their
role in heavy metal uptake, sequestration and root to
shoot transport studied.

Establishment of stable transgenic of Typha angustifolia
a heavy metal tolerant and accumulator plant
|
 Typha
angustifolia
is an important plant to study due to its ability
to grow naturally in harsh environmental conditions
such as tailings pond in the mining area. Typha
angustifolia is an important plant to study
due to its ability to grow naturally in harsh
environmental conditions such as tailings pond
in the mining area. We
are trying to investigate the molecular mechanismof
heavy metal tolerance in this extremely metal
tolerant plant. The plant in the initial studies
has been found to be a elective accumulator
that controls uptake and root to shoot transport
of undesirable metals as strategy. Differential
gene expression is taken in our lab to investigate
mechanism of tolerance in this plant
