“…Roles of HIPP proteins in heavy-metal homeostasis and/or detoxification [ 23 ], cold- and salt-stress responses [ 28 ], virus long-distance movement [ 35 ], plant–pathogen interactions, and plant development [ 25 ] have been demonstrated. HIPP20 , HIPP22 , HIPP26 , HIPP27 , AtFP6 , AtCdI9 , and ATX1 from Arabidopsis and OsHIPP16 , OsHIPP28 , OsHIPP34 , OsATX1 , OsHIPP60 , and OsHIPP29 from rice can positively regulate tolerance to heavy metals [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 26 , 30 , 32 , 53 ]. Different genes can be induced by different heavy metals, which, in turn, increase plant tolerance to different heavy metals.…”
