Abstract
Analysis of the global genome expression of plants chronically exposed to 50Â uM of Cd and Pb revealed 65 and 338 up- and down-regulated genes by Cd and 19 and 76 by Pb, respectively. Interestingly, half of the genes that changed their expression in Pb-treated plants also changed their expression in Cd-treated ones. The greater number of genes regulated by Cd reflects generally higher genome instability of plants as well as higher uptake as compared to Pb.
