S.No. | Sample | Arsenic content in root (mg/gm root biomass) | Arsenic content in shoot (mg/gm shoot biomass) |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Control | 0.13 ± 0.055 | 0.03 ± 0.004 |
2 | Pi | 0.02 ± 0.003 | 0.08 ± 0.044 |
3 | As | 0.65 ± 0.011 | 2.16 ± 0.44 |
4 | As → Pi | 6.97 ± 1.246 | 0.21 ± 0.006 |
5 | As+Pi | 0.49 ± 0.009 | 1.34 ± 0.062 |
6 | Pi → As | 26.22 ± 0.81 | 0.039 ± 0.003 |
Treated and control plants were analyzed for arsenic uptake and effect of fungal colonization on arsenic translocation to shoot. The amount of arsenic present in the plant root and shoot is expressed in mg per gm biomass.
