Arsenic (As) contamination of rice grains and the generally low concentration of
micronutrients in rice have been recognized as a major concern for human health. Here, we …

In order to gain insights into the transport and distribution of arsenic (As) in intact rice (Oryza
sativa) plants and its unloading into the rice grain, we investigated the spatial distribution of …

Synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence (S-XRF) was utilized to locate arsenic (As) in
polished (white) and unpolished (brown) rice grains from the United States, China, and …

Rice (Oryza sativa) is the staple food for over half the world's population yet may represent a
significant dietary source of inorganic arsenic (As), a nonthreshold, class 1 human …

The transport mechanisms of As from contaminated soil or irrigation water into roots and
subsequently into grain, and the As species distribution—a toxicity determinant, is critical for …

The influence of sulphur on the accumulation and metabolism of arsenic in rice was
investigated. Rice seedlings were grown in nutrient solutions with low sulphate (1.8 μM …

The cellular and subcellular distributions of trace elements can provide important clues to
understanding how the elements are transported and stored in plant cells, but mapping their …

A hydroponic experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of phosphorus (P) nutrition
and iron plaque on root surfaces on arsenate uptake by, and translocation within, the …

Phytic acid (inositol hexakisphosphate [InsP6]) is the storage compound of phosphorus in
seeds. As phytic acid binds strongly to metallic cations, it also acts as a storage compound of …

Rice is the main cereal crop that feeds half of the world's population, and two thirds of the
Chinese population. Arsenic (As) contamination in paddy soil and irrigation water elevates …
