Abstract

Arsenic is a hazardous substance found naturally in the earth's crust and released into the soil by anthropogenic activities. Plants may uptake and accumulate arsenic in their stems, roots, leaves, and fruits. The accumulation of this toxic element can alter plant metabolism. This chapter describes the involvement of genetic background in the concentration of arsenic accumulation and its capacity to modulate the concentration of this toxic element in plants. Moreover, we describe the role of metabolomic tools in evaluating arsenic accumulation and potential substances to mitigate its effects in plants such as rice, reducing the effects of arsenic contamination on the food chain.
