Exploration of the Biological Role of Nitric Oxide in Sedum alfredii Hance under Heavy Metal Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The hytoremediation is a promising, environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cleanup techniques for heavy metal contaminated sites. This study is intended to explore the physiological functions of nitric oxide (NO) in the signaling pathways as well as defense responses in Sedum Alfredii Hance, a new zinc (Zn) promising hyperaccumulating plant species for the phytoremediation exposured to Cd contaminations.
