Effect of NaHS and Cys on Cd2+ percentage and qRT-PCR analysis the expression of heavy metal chelators genes in Arabidopsis roots.

(a) Cd2+ accumulation in Arabidopsis roots. (b) The expression of PCS1, PCS2, MT1A, MT1B and MT2B in WT. (c) Time-course of PCS1 gene expression. (d) Time-course of MT1A gene expression. 7-d-old Arabidopsis seedlings were grown on 1/2 MS agar plates supplied with 50 μM Cd2+, 50 μM NaHS and 1 mM Cys for 5 d (a), 3 h (b), 0–12 (c,d). Mean values and SE were calculated from three replicates. Within each set of experiments, bars with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05, Duncan’s multiple range tests).
