Genome-wide analysis of metallothionein gene family in maize to reveal its role in development and stress resistance to heavy metal

Abstract Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is a widely cultivated cereal and has been used as an optimum heavy metal phytoremediation crop. Metallothionein (MT) proteins are small, cysteine-rich, proteins that play important roles in plant growth and development, and the regulation of stress response t...
