• Arsenic Uptake, Toxicity, Detoxification, and Speciation in Plants: Physiological, Biochemical, and Molecular Aspects (2018, background): “[147] have explored availability of As(III) transporters in Oryza sativa L.”
• How Does Contamination of Rice Soils with Cd and Zn Cause High Incidence of Human Cd Disease in Subsistence Rice Farmers (2015, background): “Because arsenate is reduced to the much more soluble (less strongly adsorbed) arsenite in flooded soils, and because arsenite is accumulated into rice on the silicate transporter [81], rice grown with traditional flood culture is higher in iAs than other food crops and may exceed the newly establish”
• Impact of alternate wetting and drying on rice physiology, grain production, and grain quality (2017, background): “Ma et al. (2008) showed that arsenite is taken up through the 550 Lsi1 silicon transporter while arsenate is accumulated via phosphate transporters (Meharg and 551 Hartley-Whitaker, 2002).”
• Genotype and environment effects on rice (Oryza sativa L.) grain arsenic concentration in Bangladesh (2010, background): “Phosphate competes with arsenate (Meharg and Macnair 1992) and silicate competes with arsenite (Ma et al. 2008) for uptake by roots.”
• Recent advances in arsenic accumulation and metabolism in rice (2010, background): “Ma et al. (2008) reported two different types of transporters of As(III), the predominant form of As in paddy soil, from the external medium to the xylem.”
• Biotechnological advances in bioremediation of heavy metals contaminated ecosystems: an overview with special reference to phytoremediation (2014, background): “T-DNA insertion in Si efflux carrier Lsi2 (NIP subfamily) locus also resulted in almost 50 % reduction in As accumulation in shoot (Ma et al. 2008).”
