CU-INDUCED GENES EXPRESSION IN THE ACCUMULATOR PLANT BRASSICA NIGRA L.

Copper (Cu) is one of the essential trace metals required for plant growth. High amount Cu in media inhibits growth and toxic to plants. Brassica nigra L., a accumulator, can tolerate high have specific mechanisms relocate within cell compartments keep away from cytoplasm. This study aimed evaluate Cu-induced gene expression pattern B. Diyarbakir ecotype subjected low treatment. The Arabidopsis ATH1 genome array was used determine leaves grown at 25 µM Cu. Ninety-five genes were upregulated, seventy-two downregulated plants under responsive genes, such as glutathione S-transferase, reductase, heavy metal transporters, natural resistance-associated macrophage proteins, cytochrome p450, MYB-like transcription factor, copper/zinc, Fe superoxide dismutases, some protein kinases highly expressed Cu-treated present work provides global facultative metallophyte nigra, which could serve molecular tool future phytoremediation studies.
