Can Tobacco Have a Potentially Beneficial Effect to our Health?

Original language description

Remediation using plants and related bacteria is a promising approach, but has its inborn limitations. To overcome the slow performance of the process, transgenic plants have been prepared specifically tailored for phytoremediation purposes. This projectaddressed a group of widespread synthetic organic xenobiotics, PCBs and heavy metals as representatives of inorganic contaminans. We tried to prepare two groups of tobacco plants ? plants expressing the bacterial enzyme responsible for clearing PCB andplants bearing fused transgenes of metal binding protein (yeast metallothionein) with an introduced additional metal binding domain ? polyhistidine anchor with high affinity to metals.
