Recent advances in arsenic accumulation and metabolism in rice
2010-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Arsenic is commonly present in subsoil and is a carcinogen in humans. Rice takes up arsenic and it accumulates in different plant parts, including grains, at levels several-fold higher than the soil. In high arsenic regions, rice can contribute substantially to arsenic intake by the human population.
