Phytochelatin Synthesis and Glutathione Levels in Response to Heavy Metals in Tomato Cells

Abstract

Cell suspension cultures of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv VFNT-Cherry, produce phytochelatins (poly[gamma-glutamylcysteinyl]glycines) when exposed to cadmium. The synthesis of these peptides is accompanied by a decline in cellular levels of glutathione. Buthionine sulfoximine, an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis, inhibits the sustained production of phytochelatins. However, phytochelatin synthesis can occur in the presence of buthionine sulfoximine provided that sufficient glutathione is available. These results indicate that glutathione is a substrate for phytochelatin synthesis. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide does not affect the initial production of phytochelatin.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
