Heterologous Expression of triticale PROLYL AMINOPEPTIDASE (TsPAP1) Enhances Copper Stress Tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana by Strengthening the Enzymatic Antioxidant Defense System
It is demonstrated that the heterologous expression of TsPAP1, a triticale gene encoding a prolyl aminopeptidase, enhances proline accumulation and confers increased Cu tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana, highlighting TsPAP1 as a promising target for engineering heavy metal-resilient crops.
