Abstract excerpt
The development of low arsenic-accumulating varieties for the contaminated areas is one of the best options for reducing the dietary exposure of arsenic to human population through rice. In this study, grain-arsenic content in one hundred genotypes revealed a large variation ranging from 0.05 mg/kg to 0.49 mg/kg. Compared to high accumulating variety, Shatabdi, 6-8 times the transcript upregulation of Arsenic...
