Journal Article
Fischer, S., Sánchez-Bermejo, E., Xu, X., Flis, P., Ramakrishna, P., Guerinot, M. L., Zhao, F. J., & Salt, D. E. (2021). Targeted expression of the arsenate reductase HAC1 identifies cell type specificity of arsenic metabolism and transport in plant roots. Journal of Experimental Botany, 72(2), 415-425. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/eraa465

High Arsenic Concentration 1 (HAC1), an Arabidopsis thaliana arsenate reductase, plays a key role in arsenate [As(V)] tolerance. Through conversion of As(V) to arsenite [As(III)], HAC1 enables As(III) export from roots, and restricts translocation of...
