  1. Total cation concentration (µg g−1 DW) of wild-type and transgenic ScTPO1-expressing Arabidopsis plants challenged with 0.5 mM Al3+, 50 µM Cd2+, 75 µM Co2+, 50 µM Cu2+ and 100 µM Ni2+ (means ± SD, n = 4). Numbers in parentheses indicate the P value (comparison with the wild type) obtained by Student’s t-test.
