Overexpression of the manganese/cadmium transporter OsNRAMP5 reduces cadmium accumulation in rice grain

JD Chang, S Huang, N Konishi, P Wang… - Journal of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Rice is a major dietary source of the toxic metal cadmium (Cd), and reducing its
accumulation in the grain is therefore important for food safety. We selected two cultivars …
