A working model for the role of GmWRKY142 in regulating Cd tolerance. Cd stress promotes GmWRKY142 expression and thereby directly activates the transcript of the GmCDT1-1 and GmCDT1-2 genes encoding Cys-rich peptides, which results in chelating Cd at the cellular surface and prevent further entry of Cd into the cells, and thus, conferring enhanced tolerance.
