Anne S. Moffat, in a paper in Science "Engineering plants to cope with metals" (Ref. 41) says: "Many plants cope with

metals by binding them in complexes with a class of peptides called phytochelatins and sequestering the complexes inside their cells. Now three groups have isolated genes for the enzymes, called phytochelatin synthases, that make the metal-binding peptides when the cell is exposed to toxic metals. ... After searching genome databases, they also found counterparts of the plant genes in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans." What are the implications of finding the same genes to inactivate metals in both plants and animals?
