Aquaporins mediated arsenite transport in plants: Molecular mechanisms and applications in crop improvement
Arsenic (As) is a carcinogen and it is ubiquitous in the environment. Its accumulation in
plants can enter the food chain, thereby causing adverse impacts on human health. Based …

A subgroup of plant aquaporins facilitate the bi-directional diffusion of As(OH)3 and Sb(OH)3across membranes
Background Arsenic is a toxic and highly abundant metalloid that endangers human health
through drinking water and the food chain. The most common forms of arsenic in the …

Decreases in arsenic accumulation by the plasma membrane intrinsic protein PIP2; 2 in Arabidopsis and yeast
Arsenic (As) is a toxic pollutant that mainly enters the human body via plants. Therefore,
understanding the strategy for reducing arsenic accumulation in plants is important to …

Members of rice plasma membrane intrinsic proteins subfamily are involved in arsenite permeability and tolerance in plants
Rice accumulates high level of arsenic (As) in its edible parts and thus plays an important
role in the transfer of As into the food chain. However, the mechanisms of As uptake and its …

NIP1; 1, an aquaporin homolog, determines the arsenite sensitivity of Arabidopsis thaliana
Arsenite [As (III)] is highly toxic to organisms, including plants. Very recently, transporters in
rice responsible for As (III) transport have been described (Ma, JF, Yamaji, N., Mitani, N., Xu …

[HTML][HTML] Ectopic expression of wheat aquaglyceroporin TaNIP2; 1 alters arsenic accumulation and tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana
C Wang, Y Zhang, Y Liu, H Xu, T Zhang, Z Hu… - Ecotoxicology and …, 2020 - Elsevier
Arsenic (As) is one of the most toxic contaminants to food crops, and as such, decreasing
crops uptake and accumulation of As cannot be overemphasized. Here, we characterized a …

Current perspectives of ACR3 (arsenite efflux system) toward the reduction of arsenic accumulation in plants
Arsenic is one of the most detrimental heavy metals on the planet due to its bio-accumulative
and carcinogenic nature. In addition to humans and animals, it also has a hazardous foot …

Calcium-dependent protein kinase CPK31 interacts with arsenic transporter AtNIP1;1 and regulates arsenite uptake in Arabidopsis thaliana
R Ji, L Zhou, J Liu, Y Wang, L Yang, Q Zheng… - PLoS …, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Although arsenite [As (III)] is non-essential and toxic for plants, it is effectively absorbed
through various transporters into the roots. Here we identified a calcium-dependent protein …
