ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a transgenic plant transformed with an isolated polynucleotide comprising a plant arsenate reductase coding sequence operatively linked to a plant-expressible transcription regulatory sequence. Also disclosed are methods to limit metal or metal ion accumulation in a harvested plant tissue comprising growing the transgenic plant; and harvesting plant tissue having reduced metal or metal ion accumulation. Further disclosed herein is method of making a transgenic plant transformed with an isolated polynucleotide comprising a plant arsenate reductase coding sequence operatively linked to a plant-expressible transcription regulatory sequence.
