Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a highly toxic, nonessential metalloid that may have played a large role in the evolution of life (Oremland et al., 2009). Arsenate [As(V)] is taken up and moved through the plant by phosphate (Pi) transporters (reviewed in Mendoza-Cózatl et al., 2011). Previously, it was reported that exposure of Arabidopsis thaliana to As(V) led to specific repression of genes responsible for Pi uptake, including that for the high-affinity phosphate transporter PHT1;1 (Catarecha et al., 2007). New work from Castrillo et al. (pages 2944–2957) reveals that this repression is just one aspect of a rapid and sensitive As(V)-specific defense response.
