Correction to: Effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles on arsenic stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.): germination, early growth, and arsenic uptake

Iron Bioavailability and Arsenic Uptake in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Effect of external iron and arsenic species on chelant-enhanced iron bioavailability and arsenic uptake in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of external iron status and arsenic species on chelant-enhanced iron bioavailability and arsenic uptake. Rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) were used as model plant, and were grown in artificially contaminated sandy soils irrigated with Murashige and Skoog (MS) culture solution. Arsenate uptake in roots and shoots of rice seedlings were affected ...

Straighthead Disease of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Induced by Arsenic

Growth-inhibition patterns and transfer-factor profiles in arsenic-stressed rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Arsenic (As) accumulation in rice owing to uptake from the soil is a critical human health issue. Here, we studied the chemical properties of As-treated soils, growth inhibition patterns of As-stressed rice plants, changes in the As content of soil and soil solutions, and the relationship between As accumulation and As transfer factor from the soil to the rice organs. Rice plants were cultivate...

The Role of Selenium in Soil: Effect on the uptake and Translocation of Arsenic in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

The contamination of paddy soils by arsenic (As) is a serious problem in rice production areas across the world. This study investigates the effect selenium (Se) has on the formation of iron plaques on the outside of rice roots and the accumulation of As in rice plants. A soil combined sand pot experiment having four concentrations of Se (0, 1, 5 and 10 mg kg -1 ) and two concentrations of As (...
