Abstract
Genetically modified plants able to accumulate heavy metals in shoots and methods of removing and possibly recovering said heavy metals, using said genetically modified plants. Said genetically modified plants include more than one copy of at least a sequence encoding a P1B-type ATPase of the Zn<2+>/Co<2+>/Cd<2+>/Pb<2+> subclass and that they overexpress said P1B-type ATPase.
Claims28
Genetically modified plants, characterized in that they include more than one copy of at least a sequence encoding a P1B-type ATPase of the Zn2+/Co2+/Cd2+/Pb2+ subclass and that they overexpress said P1B-type ATPase.
Recombinant vector able to transform plants, characterized in that said vector includes more than one copy of at least a sequence encoding a P1B-type ATPase of the Zn2+/Co2+/Cd2+/Pb2+ subclass.
