From: A repeat region from the Brassica juncea HMA4 gene BjHMA4R is specifically involved in Cd2+ binding in the cytosol under low heavy metal concentrations

Fig. 4

The Zn/Cd content in the BjHMA4 transgenic and corresponding wild-type (WT) plants. Shown are cadmium (a, d) and zinc concentrations (b, e) in the roots and the shoots and the shoot:root ratios (c, f) of cadmium and zinc concentrations in 3-week-old rice and wheat transformed with BjHMA4 and WT rice and wheat grown hydroponically for 2 weeks and subsequently exposed to 200 μM CdCl2 or 2 mM ZnCl2 for a week. The data are expressed as the mean ± SE of three replicates; * and ** indicate significance at 5 and 1% levels (evaluated by Student’s t test), respectively
