Abstract excerpt
Arsenate [As(V)] is toxic to nearly all organisms. Soil-borne As(V) enters plant cells mainly through the plasma membrane-localized phosphate (Pi) transporter PHT1 family proteins due to its chemical similarity to Pi. We report here that VPT1, a major vacuolar phosphate transporter which contributes to vacuolar Pi sequestration, is associated with As(V) tolerance in Arabidopsis. vpt1 mutants displayed enhanced...
