Abstract excerpt
Rice grains typically contain relatively high levels of toxic arsenic (As) but low levels of essential micronutrients. Biofortification of essential micronutrients while decreasing As accumulation in rice would benefit human nutrition and health. We generated transgenic rice expressing a gain-of-function mutant allele astol1 driven by the OsGPX1 promoter. astol1 encodes a plastid-localized O-acetylserine (thiol)...
