Targeted expression of the arsenate reductase HAC1 identifies cell type specificity of arsenic metabolism and transport in plant roots (2020)
Journal Article
Fischer, S., Sánchez-Bermejo, E., Xu, X., Flis, P., Ramakrishna, P., Guerinot, M. L., …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...

Increasing zinc concentration in maize grown under contrasting soil types in Malawi through agronomic biofortification: Trial protocol for a field experiment to detect small effect sizes. Plant Direct, 4(10), Article e00277. https://doi.org/10.1002/pld3.277

The prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies including zinc (Zn) is widespread in Malawi, especially among poor and marginalized rural populations. This is due to low concentrations of Zn in most staple cereal crops and limited consumption of animal...
