Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants expressing the merA gene are highly resistant to ionic mercury
MerA expressing
transgenic Arabidopsis
Wild type controlsTransgenic Arabidopsis with the bacterial merA gene under control of plant regulatory sequences express MerA protein (mercuric ion reductase). Seeds from these plants germinate and plants grown on mercury concentrations that kill normal wild type control seeds and plants.
