The shape of any cell is defined and delimited by the shape of the outermost membrane of lipid. Whether a cell’s membrane is locally flat, protrusive, or invaginated at a given instant is often the resultant of forces generated by molecules within the c
E. coli cells expressing CsMTL2 had a higher tolerance for cadmium than for zinc ions. These findings show that CsMTL2 improves metal tolerance when heterologously expressed in E. coli. Future studies should examine whether CsMTL2 improves metal tolerance in planta. Keywords: cucumber; CsMTL2;...
