The thiol-reductase activity of YUCCA6 enhances nickel heavy metal stress tolerance in Arabidopsis

Anthropogenic activities cause the leaching of heavy metals into groundwater and their accumulation in soil. Excess levels of heavy metals cause toxicity in plants, inducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and possible death caused by the resulting oxidative stress. Heavy metal stres...
