Overexpression of ATP Sulfurylase in Indian Mustard Leads to Increased Selenate Uptake, Reduction, and Tolerance
Elizabeth A. H. Pilon-Smits,Seongbin Hwang,C. Mel Lytle,Yong-Liang Zhu,Jenny C. Tai,Rogelio C. Bravo,Yichang Chen,Thomas Leustek,Norman Terry +8 more
TL;DR: These studies show that ATP sulfurylase not only mediates selenate reduction in plants, but is also rate limiting for selenates uptake and assimilation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation and volatilization of different chemical species of selenium by plants
TL;DR: Reduction from SeO4 to SeO3 appears to be a rate-limiting step in the production of volatile Se compounds by plants, and inhibitory effects of sulfate on the uptake and volatilization of Se may be reduced substantially if Se is supplied as, or converted to, SeO 3 and/or SeMeth rather than SeO 4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromium accumulation, translocation and chemical speciation in vegetable crops
TL;DR: The XAS speciation analysis indicates that CrO42− is converted in the root to Cr3+ by all plants tested, and a hypothesis for the differential accumulation and identical translocation patterns of the two Cr ions is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by wetland plants: Potential for in situ heavy metal detoxification
TL;DR: Using X-ray spectroscopy, this article showed that Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth), supplied with Cr(VI) in nutrient culture, accumulated nontoxic Cr(III) in root and shoot tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rate-Limiting Steps in Selenium Assimilation and Volatilization by Indian Mustard
Mark P. de Souza,Elizabeth A. H. Pilon-Smits,C. Mel Lytle,Seongbin Hwang,Jenny C. Tai,Todd S.U. Honma,Lucretia Yeh,Norman Terry +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that Se volatilization from selenite is limited by the rate of selenate reduction, as well as by the availability of Se in roots, as influenced by uptake and translocation.
