DESCRIPTION:Rice is the staple food for about half of the world population 
 and is also a major dietary source of inorganic arsenic (As)\, a class-one
  carcinogen for humans. Rice accumulates As much more efficiently than oth
 er cereal crops. This results from a combination of an elevated As bioavai
 lability in anaerobic paddy soil and efficient uptake of As by rice roots.
  Paddy soils in many areas in Asia are contaminated with As due to mining 
 activities and irrigation of As-laden groundwater\, leading to phytotoxici
 ty in rice crop and substantial yield losses. Understanding the As biogeoc
 hemistry in paddy environments and the mechanisms of As uptake and transpo
 rt in rice plants is important for both food security and safety. In this 
 talk\, I will present recent research findings from my lab on aspects of t
 he arsenic biogeochemistry in paddy soil\, the mechanisms of uptake and tr
 anslocation of As species in rice\, and strategies to limit As accumulatio
 n in rice grain.\n&nbsp\;\n***Invited by Britta Planer-Friedrich &amp\; St
