Arsenic toxicity: the effects on plant metabolism
PM Finnegan, W Chen - Frontiers in physiology, 2012 - frontiersin.org
The two forms of inorganic arsenic, arsenate (AsV) and arsenite (AsIII), are easily taken up
by the cells of the plant root. Once in the cell, AsV can be readily converted to AsIII, the more …
