Abstract excerpt
The contribution of the phosphate transporters (PHTs) in uptake of arsenate (As5+) and phosphate (P) is a widely recognized mechanism. Here we investigated how P regulates the uptake of As5+ and the subsequent effects on growth and relative expression of PHTs. The study was conducted on 3 barley genotypes differing in As tolerance (ZDB160, As-tolerant; ZDB115, moderately tolerant; ZDB475, As-sensitive) using a...
