In this study, we cloned an 866 bp GST（phi） gene in Lemna minor and investigated its characteristics, expression and enzymatic activities under 75 lamol/L cadmium concentrations in comparison with other ROS scavengers. GST（phi） gene expression patterns were similar to those of other scavengers of ROS. This suggests that GST（phi） might be involved in responding to heavy metal （cadmium） stress and that its expression level could be used as a bio-indicator in monitoring cadmium pollution.展开更多

INTRODUCTIONZearalenone was found by Stob et al. in 1962 as a secondary metabolite produced by Gibberella zeae. It was reported that zearalenone not only acts as an estrogenic substance but also as a sexual hormone in certain fungi. Since 1980, zearalenone has been isolated, purified and identified from higher plants in different genera and species by Meng et al. and is proposed as an endogenous active substance closely related to sexual differentiation展开更多
