In vitro breeding of Brassica juncea L. to enhance metal accumulation and extraction properties

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Erika Nehnevajova

In vitro breeding and somaclonal variation were used as tools to improve the potential of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) to extract and accumulate toxic metals. Calli from B. juncea were cultivated on a modified MS medium supplemented with 10–200 μM C ...

A beta 42-driven cerebral amyloidosis in transgenic mice reveals early and robust pathology

Tristan Bolmont

We have generated a novel transgenic mouse model on a C57BL/ 6J genetic background that coexpresses KM670/ 671NL mutated amyloid precursor protein and L166P mutated presenilin 1 under the control of a neuron- specific Thy1 promoter element ( APPPS1 mice). ...

Non-GMO approach for the improvement of heavy metal accumulation and extraction of high yielding crop species for efficient phytoextraction of contaminated soil

Erika Nehnevajova

Some plants able to take up heavy metals from contaminated soils offer a possibility to clean up sites contaminated with heavy metals. Plants thus act as a solar driven pump, which can extract and concentrate heavy metals from the environment. Since most o ...
