Response to oxidative stress induced by cadmium and copper in tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum) engineered with the trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene (AtTPS1)

The response of tobacco plants genetically engineered with the AtTPS1 gene to stress induced by excess Cu and Cd was evaluated in hydroponic solution (100 and 400 lM Cu and 50 and 200 lM Cd) after a 48 h exposure. Two transgenic lines, transformed with the AtTPS1 (trehalose-6-phosphate synthase) gen...
