Studying the Relationship between Acyl-CoA-Binding Protein 2 and Lysophospholipase 2 in Arabidopsis thaliana and Their Importance in Recycling of Cadmium

Abstract

A major environmental concern due to dispersal of industrial and urban wastes generated by human activities is the contamination of soil. A wide range of inorganic and organic compounds cause contamination, these include heavy metals, combustible and putriscible substances, hazardous wastes, explosives and petroleum products. Major component of inorganic contaminates are heavy metals .Phytoremediation is a group of technologies that used by plants to remove, degrade or immobilize environmental toxins. This technology largely focused on the use of plants for accelerating degradation of organic contaminants. But in addition to use of plant for soil remediation, hyper accumulator plants can be used for recycling of metals from soil. Hyper accumulator plant express special proteins that help them to tolerate the high concentration of metals.in this experiment we discussed the relationship between acyl-CoA-binding protein 2 and lysophospholipase 2 and showed why this two proteins work together.
