Genome-wide association mapping identifies a new arsenate reductase enzyme critical for limiting arsenic accumulation in plants (2014)
Journal Article
Chao, D., Chen, Y., Chen, J., Shi, S., Chen, Z., Wang, C., …Salt, D. E. (in press). Genome-wide association mapping identifies a new arsenate reductase enzyme critical for limiting arsenic accumulation in plants. PLoS Biology, 12(12), Article e1002009. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002009

Inorganic arsenic is a carcinogen, and its ingestion through foods such as rice presents a significant risk to human health. Plants chemically reduce arsenate to arsenite. Using genome-wide association (GWA) mapping of loci controlling natural variat...

Worldwide genetic diversity for mineral element concentrations in rice grain (2014)
Journal Article
Pinson, S. R., Tarpley, L., Yan, W., Yeater, K., Lahner, B., Yakubova, E., …Salt, D. E. (in press). Worldwide genetic diversity for mineral element concentrations in rice grain. Crop Science, 55(1), https://doi.org/10.2135/cropsci2013.10.0656

With the aim of identifying rice (Oryza spp.) germplasm having enhanced grain nutritional value, the mineral nutrient and trace element concentrations (or ionome) of whole (unmilled) grains from a set of 1763 rice accessions of diverse geographic and...

Variation in sulfur and selenium accumulation is controlled by naturally occurring isoforms of the key sulfur assimilation enzyme ADENOSINE 5?-PHOSPHOSULFATE REDUCTASE2 across the arabidopsis species range (2014)
Journal Article
Chao, D., Baraniecka, P., Danku, J., Koprivova, A., Lahner, B., Luo, H., …Salt, D. E. (2014). Variation in sulfur and selenium accumulation is controlled by naturally occurring isoforms of the key sulfur assimilation enzyme ADENOSINE 5′-PHOSPHOSULFATE REDUCTASE2 across the arabidopsis species range. Plant Physiology, 166(3), https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.114.247825

Natural variation allows the investigation of both the fundamental functions of genes and their role in local adaptation. As one of the essential macronutrients, sulfur is vital for plant growth and development and also for crop yield and quality. Se...
