• Metal hyperaccumulation and bioremediation (2007, background): “Transgenic Indian mustard over-expresssing cystathione- -synthase (CGS) had low shoot Se concentration with enhanced Se volatilization rate as well as Se tolerance than the wild type plants grown either hydroponically or in soil (Van Huysen et al. 2003, 2004).”
• Environmental cleanup using plants: biotechnological advances and ecological considerations (2006, background): “…Phytostimulation Pollinators Herbivores invertebrates vertebrates bacteria/fungi • phyllosphere • rhizosphere • endophytic {Mutualistmicrobialpartners Pathogens } version of selenocysteine to volatile selenium (van Huysen et al. 2003; LeDuc et al. 2004).”
• Selenium uptake, translocation, assimilation and metabolic fate in plants (2005, background): “However, the constitutive expression of CGS in Indian mustard led to 2–3- fold higher Se volatilization rates and 20–40% lower shoot Se concentration and higher Se tolerance compared to the wild-type (Van Huysen et al. 2003).”
• Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals: Physiological and Molecular Mechanisms (2009, background): “The CGS plants contained Se levels that were 20–40% lower in shoots and 50–70% lower in roots than in wild type when supplied with selenite (Van Huysen et al., 2003).”
• Selenium in Plants (2017, background): “Overexpression of an A. thaliana cystathionine-γ-synthase (CγS) in B. juncea resulted in threefold enhanced Se volatilization from either selenate or selenite (van Huysen et al. 2003), showing that this enzyme is a limiting factor for Se volatilization.”
• An Overview of Selenium Uptake, Metabolism, and Toxicity in Plants (2017, background): “…with enhanced Se tolerance in plants for e.g., overexpression of SeCys-methyltransferase in Arabidopsis and Brassica juncea (LeDuc et al., 2004), Cystathionine gammasynthase, NifS-like protein with selenocysteine lyase activity in Brassica juncea (Van Huysen et al., 2003; Van Hoewyk et al., 2005).”
• Selenium in agriculture: a nutrient or contaminant for crops? (2014, background): “The CgS transgenic was helpful in reducing the Se accumulation and improved the rate of volatilization in transgenic B. juncea plants (Van Huysen et al. 2003).”
