Effect of phosphate on arsenic uptake in Indian mustard seedlings

Sample Control Potassium Phosphate
μmol g−1 fresh biomass
Root 43.8 ± 1.6 12.3 ± 2.7
Shoot 1.1 ± 0.1 0.5 ± 0.1

Arsenic concentration determined by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry analysis in 2-week-old Indian mustard seedlings exposed to 500 μm arsenate for 3 d, in the presence or absence of 1 mm potassium phosphate in axenic hydroponic solution. Values are means ± se of three independent replicates.
