Cadmium (Cd) pollution is an increasingly serious problem in crop production. Although significant progress has been made to comprehend the molecular mechanism of phytochelatins (PCs)-mediated Cd detoxification, the information on the hormonal regulation of PCs is very fragmentary. In the present st...
