Japan has developed transgenic tobacco that can purify soil

The Japan National Electric Power Research Institute developed a transgenic tobacco in early May 2004 that can absorb a large amount of cadmium that is harmful to humans from the soil. The researchers found that if the GM tobacco is grown on land contaminated by substances such as industrial wastes and mine waste water, the pollution can be removed without human labor, and the cost is about 10% of that of previous soil purification methods. one. The Japanese side will establish the promotion of this technology within five years. Tobacco and other plants have the property of storing iron, zinc, and other metals necessary for the survival of plants in leaves, stems, and roots. The proteins in N. tabacum cells are linked to useful metals, while metals such as cadmium do not enter the interior of the cell membrane but accumulate in small amounts in plants. Director of the Japan Electric Power Research Institute, Yoshiyuki Yoshihara, and others used genetically modified technology to make this protein work between the cell membrane of tobacco and the cell wall, and increased its ability to absorb cadmium to about 2.5 times that of ordinary tobacco. The Japanese research team will further study this feature of genetically modified tobacco, so that it can eliminate harmful metals other than cadmium, or can be used to recover precious metals such as gold.
