Figure 4

Accumulation of mercury from MS gellan gum plates containing Hg(II) and CH 3 Hg(I). The amounts of mercury (A; ng/plant, B; ng/fresh weight) that accumulated in wild-type plants (Wild; empty bar) and merE- transgenic plants (black bar) were determined after culture for 2 weeks on MS gellan gum plates with various concentrations of HgCl2 or CH3HgCl, as described in the Materials and Methods. The data are expressed as the means ± S.E.M. based on four determinations from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05 vs. the wild type.
