An overexpression of the IRT1 gene allowed researchers from the Beijing Jiaotong University in China to enhance the hair root structure of field mustard to cope against Cadmium stress. The researchers used a combination of genetic engineering and Rizobium rhizogenes-mediated technology to develop the hairy root system of the transgenic field mustard with the IRT1 gene. Previous studies have found that the gene can respond to Cadmium stress and help alleviate metal toxicity through up-regulation.
