- Microbial mediated arsenic biotransformation in wetlands (2017, background): “This highlights the case in which As can accumulate in agriculturalwetland soils, which then leads to the direct transfer to food supply chains [28,33].”
- Rice is more efficient in arsenite uptake and translocation than wheat and barley (2010, background): “Rice appears to be much more efficient in As accumulation than wheat and barley (Williams et al. 2007).”
- Influence of sulphur on arsenic accumulation and metabolism in rice seedlings (2011, neutral): “Even t background levels of arsenic, rice grain and straw still accumuate relatively high levels of arsenic compared with other cereal rops (Williams et al., 2007).”
- Transporters of arsenite in rice and their role in arsenic accumulation in rice grain (2008, background): “As concentrations in rice grain are often high enough to cause concern even in uncontaminated soils containing background levels of As, because paddy rice appears to be particularly efficient in As assimilation compared with other cereal crops (8).”
- Recent advances in arsenic accumulation and metabolism in rice (2010, background): “The rice from south central US contained higher As than the rice from California (Williams et al. 2007c).”
- Worldwide Genetic Diversity for Mineral Element Concentrations in Rice Grain (2015, positive): “55, january–february 2015 In addition to developing high-yielding, early-maturing lines to limit grain As concentrations as discussed above, another strategy suggested for reducing grain As would be to develop cultivars better suited to unflooded production (Marin et al., 1993; Williams et al., 2007”
- Arsenic Accumulation in Rice and Probable Mitigation Approaches: A Review (2017, background): “Arsenic speciation and mobility in soil that cause the accumulation of the metal in paddy is predominantly controlled by redox chemistry [72].”
- Arsenic uptake and metabolism in plants. (2009, background): “This is exemplified by recent findings that rice (Oryza sativa) is particularly efficient in As uptake from paddy soil, leading to accumulation in rice grain at concentrations that may pose a health risk to people consuming large amounts of rice in their diet (Williams et al., 2007; Zhu et al., 2008”
- The roles of membrane transporters in arsenic uptake, translocation and detoxification in plants (2020, background): “Staple cereals such as rice, wheat, barley and maize are the primary sources of As exposure, with rice being the most important contributor (Meharg et al., 2009; Williams et al., 2007).”
- Toxic Heavy Metal and Metalloid Accumulation in Crop Plants and Foods. (2016, background): “Thus, higher As mobility is one reason for the massively higher soil-to-shoot As transfer factors in commercially grown rice relative to wheat and barley (133).”
