Metallothioneins 1 and 2 have distinct but overlapping expression patterns in Arabidopsis. Garcia-Hernandez M, Murphy A, Taiz L. Plant Physiol. 1998 Oct;118(2):387-97. ...... The spatial and temporal expression patterns of metallothionein (MT) isoforms MT1a and MT2a were investigated in vegetative and reproductive tissues of untreated and copper-treated Arabidopsis by in situ hybridization and by northern blotting. In control plants, MT1a mRNA was localized in leaf trichomes and in the vascular tissue ...... |

...... leaves, roots, flowers, and germinating embryos. In copper-treated plants, MT1a expression was also observed in the leaf mesophyll and in vascular tissue of developing siliques and seeds. In contrast, MT2a was expressed primarily in the trichomes of both untreated and copper-treated plants. In copper-treated plants, MT2a mRNA was also expressed in siliques. Northern-hybridization studies performed on developing seedlings and leaves showed ...... |
