Genome-wide association mapping identifies a new arsenate reductase enzyme critical for limiting arsenic accumulation in plants.
Inorganic arsenic is a carcinogen, and its ingestion through foods such as rice presents a significant risk to human health. Plants chemically reduce arsenate to arsenite. Using genome-wide association (GWA) mapping of loci controlling natural variation in arsenic accumulation in Arabidopsis thalian...
