Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a very important reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging enzyme. In this study, the functions of a <i>Cu/Zn SOD</i> gene (<i>SaCu/Zn SOD</i>), from <i>Sedum alfredii</i>, a cadmium (Cd)/zinc/lead co-hyperaccumulator of the Crassulaceae, was characterized. The expression of <i>SaCu/Zn SOD</i> was induced by Cd stress. Compared with wild-type (WT) plants, overexpression of <i>SaCu/Zn SOD</i> gene in transgenic <i>Arabidopsis</i> plants enhanced the antioxidative defe ...[more]
