Alleviation effect and mechanism of arsenic stress in grafted Gleditsia seedlings
This study investigates how arsenic tolerant rootstock alleviates arsenic toxicity in sensitive scions of Gleditsia sinensis. Grafted seedlings with tolerant (R) and sensitive (S) rootstocks sharing the same sensitive scion were exposed to arsenic stress. Growth, physiological performance and transcriptomic responses were analyzed to reveal the underlying regulatory mechanisms
