Abstract: Azolla is a floating aquatic fern, having amazing capacity for concentrating toxic heavy metals. Metallothioneins (MTs) and phytochelatins (PCs) are well-defined heavy metal-binding ligands in plants. Bioaccumulation potential of different Azolla species varies according to… read more here.

Abstract: Phytochelatin synthase (PCS) is an enzyme that synthesizes phytochelatins, which are metal-binding peptides. Despite the important role of PCS in heavy metal detoxification or tolerance, the functional role of PCS with respect to other abiotic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19137692
Abstract: Phytochelatins (PCs) are cysteine-rich small peptides, enzymatically synthesized from reduced glutathione (GSH) by cytosolic enzyme phytochelatin synthase (PCS). The open reading frame (ORF) of the phytochelatin synthase CaPCS2 gene from the microalgae Chlamydomonas acidophila was… read more here.
