Agricultural soils are under threat of toxic metal/metalloid contamination from anthropogenic
activities, leading to excessive accumulation of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and …

Abstract Background Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) are two toxic elements that have a
relatively high risk of transfer from paddy soil to rice grain. Rice is a major dietary source of …

Rice is one of the principal staple foods, essential for safeguarding the global food and
nutritional security, but due to different natural and anthropogenic sources, it also acts as …

Direct or indirect exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) in the forms of AsIII (arsenite) and AsV
(arsenate) through consumption of As-contaminated food materials and drinking water leads …

Since selenium (Se) was shown to be an essential element for humans in 1957, the
biofortification of Se to crops via foliar spraying or soil fertilization has been performed for …

Arsenic (As) is a non-essential toxic metalloid whose elevated concentration in rice grains is
a serious issue both for rice yield and quality, and for human health. The rice-As interactions …

Abstract Arsenic (As), a naturally-occurring metalloid, is not essential for plant growth, but it
can accumulate in plants to toxic levels. As a result, it can enter the food chain and pose …

Arsenic (As) is one of the most toxic and cancer-causing metals which is generally entered
the food chain via intake of As contaminated water or food and harmed the life of living …

Arsenic (As) is a highly toxic metalloid that is classified as a non-threshold class-1
carcinogen. Millions of people worldwide suffer from As toxicity due to the intake of As …

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 …
