Proteomic changes in the xylem sap of Brassica napus under cadmium stress and functional validation

Abstract Background The xylem sap of vascular plants primarily transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots to the shoots and also transports heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd). Proteomic changes in xylem sap is an important mechanism for detoxifying Cd by plants. However, it is unclear how...
