Vector constructs for the transformation of plants with the pph6 pseudophytochelatin genе were obtained and later used to obtain transgenic tomato plants by agrobacterium transformation method. Then, the positive effect of the expression of the pph6 gene on the resistance of transformed plants to the effects of heavy metals (Cd2+ and Ni2+) was shown.-Зиля-Рифовны-для-PlantGen
