Abstract

Summary Arsenic (As) is an element that is nonessential for and toxic to plants. Arsenic contamination in the environment occurs in many regions, and, depending on environmental factors, its accumulation in food crops may pose a health risk to humans. Recent progress in understanding the mechanisms of As uptake and metabolism in plants is reviewed here. Arsenate is taken up by phosphate transporters. A number of the aquaporin nodulin26‐like intrinsic proteins (NIPs) are able to transport arsenite, the predominant form of As in reducing environments. In rice ( Oryza sativa ), arsenite uptake shares the highly efficient silicon (Si) pathway of entry to root cells and efflux towards the xylem. In root cells arsenate is rapidly reduced to arsenite, which is effluxed to the external medium, complexed by thiol peptides or translocated to shoots. One type of arsenate reductase has been identified, but its in planta functions remain to be investigated. Some fern species in the Pteridaceae family are able to hyperaccumulate As in above‐ground tissues. Hyperaccumulation appears to involve enhanced arsenate uptake, decreased arsenite‐thiol complexation and arsenite efflux to the external medium, greatly enhanced xylem translocation of arsenite, and vacuolar sequestration of arsenite in fronds. Current knowledge gaps and future research directions are also identified. Contents Summary 777 I. Introduction 777 II. Mechanisms of arsenic uptake and efflux 778 III.

Overexpression of NIP genes might be responsible for transporting As from roots to the xylem vessels in Pteris vitata.
“The overexpression of NIP genes might be responsible for transporting As from roots to the xylem vessels in Pteris vitata (Zhao et al., 2009).”
From Plant hyperaccumulators: a state-of-the-art review on mechanism of heavy metal transport and sequestration (2025) · cites this paper as Zhao et al., 2009
The Arsenite uptake section says NIP proteins can transport arsenite, which makes the proposed mechanism plausible. But it does not report NIP-gene overexpression in Pteris vittata or implicate NIPs in transport from its roots to the xylem. The Conclusions state that transporters moving arsenite toward the xylem outside rice had yet to be identified (page numbers unavailable in our copy). (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
