Duplication of a manganese/cadmium transporter gene reduces cadmium accumulation in rice grain
{{output}}
Global contamination of soils with toxic cadmium (Cd) is a serious health threat. Here we found that a tandem duplication of a gene encoding a manganese/Cd transporter, OsNramp5, was responsible for low-Cd accumulation in Pokkali, an old rice cultivar. This du... ...
