Rice grains typically contain high levels of toxic arsenic but low levels of the essential
micronutrient selenium. Anthropogenic arsenic contamination of paddy soils exacerbates …

Soil contamination with arsenic (As) can cause phytotoxicity and elevated As accumulation
in rice grain. Here, we used a forward genetics approach to investigate the mechanism of …

Rice is a major dietary source of the toxic metalloid arsenic (As). Reducing its accumulation
in rice (Oryza sativa) grain is of critical importance to food safety. Rice roots take up arsenate …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) feeds∼ 3 billion people. Due to the wide occurrence of arsenic (As)
pollution in paddy soils and its efficient plant uptake, As in rice grains presents health risks …

Arsenic is toxic to all life forms and is a potent carcinogen. Its accumulation in crop plants
and subsequent consumption poses a serious threat to public health worldwide. Recent …

Arsenic (As) accumulation in rice grain poses a serious health risk to populations with high
rice consumption. Extrusion of arsenite [As (III)] by ScAcr3p is the major arsenic …

Arsenic (As) is an environmental and food chain contaminant. Excessive accumulation of As,
particularly inorganic arsenic (As i), in rice (Oryza sativa) poses a potential health risk to …

How cadmium (Cd) tolerance in rice is regulated remains poorly understood. We used a
forward genetic approach to investigate Cd tolerance in rice. Using a root elongation assay …

Arsenic (As), classified as a “metalloid” element, is well known for its carcinogenicity and
other toxic effects to humans. Arsenic exposure in plants results in the alteration of the …

We have developed a genetics-based phytoremediation strategy for arsenic in which the
oxyanion arsenate is transported aboveground, reduced to arsenite, and sequestered in …
