- Microbial mediated arsenic biotransformation in wetlands (2017, background): “Paddy field contamination in the region is also a serious problem, here high soil As concentrations are linked to the quality of the groundwaters used for irrigation [28].”
- Arsenic tolerance in Arabidopsis is mediated by two ABCC-type phytochelatin transporters (2010, background): “It has been shown that arsenic in rice paddy fields is readily taken up by rice plants and translocated to the grains, constituting a danger for populations that rely mostly on rice for their diet (1, 2).”
- Utilizing the Potential of Microorganisms for Managing Arsenic Contamination: A Feasible and Sustainable Approach (2018, background): “Millions of people are at risk of As poisoning through food especially rice and rice based products (Meharg and Rahman, 2003; Awasthi et al., 2017).”
- Recent advances in arsenic accumulation and metabolism in rice (2010, background): “Meharg and Rahman (2003) reported rice grain As contents ranging between 0.058 and 1.835 mg/kg in 13 rice varieties tested from Bangladesh.”
- Cadmium and arsenic affect root development in Oryza sativa L. negatively interacting with auxin. (2018, background): “Arsenic is absorbed and accumulated in plant organs by causing the entrance of the metalloid into the food chain (Meharg and Rahman, 2003; Norra et al., 2005).”
- The roles of membrane transporters in arsenic uptake, translocation and detoxification in plants (2020, background): “Widespread soil contamination by As has been reported in South and Southeast Asia countries (Brammer, 2009; Dahal et al., 2008; Meharg & Rahman, 2003).”
- Toxic Heavy Metal and Metalloid Accumulation in Crop Plants and Foods. (2016, background): “In Bangladesh and other countries affected by As contamination of groundwater, irrigation further increases soil As levels (79).”
