Cysteine synthase [O-acetyl-L-serine(thiol)lyase] catalyzes the final step for L-cysteine biosynthesis in plants. The tolerance of transgenic tobacco plants over-expressing
cysteine synthase
cDNA in cytosol (3F), chloroplasts (
4F)
and in both organelles (F1) was investigated towards heavy metals such as Cd, Se, Ni, Pb and Cu. The transgenic plants were significantly more tolerant than wild-type plants in agar medium containing Cd, Se and Ni. The F1 transgenic plants had a higher resistance than other transgenic lines towards these metals and could enhance accumulation of Cd in shoot. These results suggest that the transgenic plants over-expressing
cysteine synthase
both in cytosol and chloroplasts can be applicable to phyto-remediation of Cd from contaminated soils.
