agriculture expression of GCS via agroinfection in the heavy metal intolerant grass Agrostis palustris. GCS and phytochelatin synthase are up-regulated in the transgenic lines. All the transgenic lines accumulate more Cd2+ and phytochelatins than the wild-type line, and three of five lines grow more effectively than the wild-type after either five or 21 days of Cd2+ stress. Variation among the transgenics is observed for the distribution of Cd2+ in the root, shoot and leaf. The malondialdehyde content of all the transgenic lines is lower than that of the wild type under Cd2+ treatment, while the activity of both superoxide dismutase and peroxidase present in the transgenic lines increases markedly 24 h after Cd2+ stress, and then rapidly declines Phragmites australis
