Journal ArticleDOI
OsZIP1 functions as a metal efflux transporter limiting excess zinc, copper and cadmium accumulation in rice
Xue Song Liu,Sheng Jun Feng,Bai Qing Zhang,Meng Qi Wang,Hong Wei Cao,Justice Kipkoir Rono,Xi Chen,Zhi Min Yang +7 more
TL;DR: OsZIP1 is a transporter that is required for detoxification of excess Zn, Cu and Cd in rice and the DNA methylation of histone H3K9me2 of OsZIP 1 locus is demethylated, suggesting that epigenetic modification is likely associated with OsZip1 function under Cd stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation of DNA methylation patterns associated with gene expression in rice (Oryza sativa) exposed to cadmium
Sheng Jun Feng,Xue Song Liu,Hua Tao,Shang Kun Tan,Shan Shan Chu,Youko Oono,Xian Duo Zhang,Jian Chen,Zhi Min Yang +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, genome-wide single-base resolution maps of methylated cytosines and transcriptome change in Cd-exposed rice genomes were reported, and a commonly used DNA methylation inhibitor 5azacytidine was employed to investigate whether DNA demethylation affected physiological consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cadmium stress-responsive gene AtFC1 confers plant tolerance to cadmium toxicity
TL;DR: Exogenous provision of heme, the product of AtFC1, partially rescued the Cd-induced toxic phenotype of fc1 mutants by improving the growth of seedlings, generation of glutathione and phytochelatins and GSH/PCs-synthesized gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of epigenetic mechanisms in paddy crop associated with lowering environmentally related cadmium risks to food safety.
TL;DR: An important epigenetic mechanism for Cd uptake and accumulation in food crops, particularly those growing in Cd-contaminated environments, is unveiled and will help develop breeding crops that contribute to food security and better human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing a cadmium resistant rice genotype with OsHIPP29 locus for limiting cadmium accumulation in the paddy crop.
Bai Qing Zhang,Xue Song Liu,Sheng Jun Feng,Ya Ning Zhao,Lei Lei Wang,Justice Kipkorir Rono,He Li,Zhi Min Yang +7 more
TL;DR: It is pointed out that expression of OsHIPP29 is able to contribute to Cd detoxification by reducing Cd accumulation in rice plants, with important implications for further developing genotypes that will minimize Cd collection in rice and environmental risks to human health.
