| Research Abstract |
We tried to clarify uptake mechanisms of persistent organic pollutants, such as dioxins, by Cucurbitaceae family. Transporting proteins in xylem sap and organic acids in root exudates were responsible for its uptake to plants. Expression of genes related to uptake in plants led to dioxin accumulation in the aerial parts of plants. These results showed that phytoremediation systems for persistent pollutants are developed by the use of functions derived from Cucurbitaceae family.
