Abstract:The relationship between nitrogen availability and presence of heavy metal stress appear to affect development and growth of Arabidopsis thaliana plants. In this work, Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings were exposed to media containing varying concentrations of nitrogen in form of NH4NO3 or KNO3 and cadmium in the form of CdCl2. When exposed to increasing cadmium stress, aln mutant lines, lacking a functional allantoinase enzyme, displayed enhanced growth and development when compared to wild type, most likely due… Show more
