Gene expression of Ntann12 in Nicotiana tabacum to Pb treatment

Plants are sessile organisms that are unable to move away from adverse environmental conditions. In order to survive or adapt their growth to environmental stresses, plants undergo physiological, biochemical and molecular changes. Lead (Pb), on the other hand, is a widespread heavy metal pollutant t...
