The plasma membrane bound transporter COPPER TRANSPORTER 2 facilitates palladium uptake in Arabidopsis
These findings identify COPT2 as a key transport protein mediating the uptake of Pd in Arabidopsis and suggest that Pd induces similar detoxification mechanisms as zinc, copper and cadmium, providing a foundation for engineering plants for precious metal recovery.
