Adaptive Responses of <i>Citrus</i> <i>grandis</i> Leaves to Copper Toxicity Revealed by RNA-Seq and Physiology

Copper (Cu)-toxic effects on <i>Citrus grandis</i> growth and Cu uptake, as well as gene expression and physiological parameters in leaves were investigated. Using RNA-Seq, 715 upregulated and 573 downregulated genes were identified in leaves of <i>C. grandis</i> seedlings ex...
