Heterologous Expression of Bacterial Dehydrin Promotes Arabidopsis Tolerance to Cadmium and Arsenic Stress
Taken together, these findings suggest that bacterial dehydrins confer enhanced tolerance to heavy metal stress in transgenic Arabidopsis plants, highlighting their potential application in developing stress-resilient crops for contaminated environments.
