Arsenic (As) is an important environmental and food-chain toxin. We investigated the key components controlling As accumulation and tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana. We tested the effects of different combinations of gene knockout, including arsenate reductase (HAC1), γ-glutamyl-cysteine synthetase (γ-ECS), phytochelatin synthase (PCS1) and phosphate effluxer (PHO1), and the heterologous expression of the...
