The reprogramming of mitochondrial energy metabolism in Rice: The role of the TCA cycle and GABA shunt under Arsenic exposure

“…In soil, iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and silicon (Si) have the greatest affinity for As interaction (Saini et al, 2023). Iron, an element of biological significance, appears to immobilize and restrict As uptake in plants via the formation of an inner sphere complex with As(V) and an outer and multiple inner sphere complex with As(III) species (Panthri & Gupta, 2022).…”

“…Interestingly, all these elements are also essential co-factors of several metabolic reactions and prerequisites for the normal functioning of Kreb cycle respiration. Differential respiration responses, namely, extensive metabolite content changes, are among the common responses of plants to As toxicity (Saini et al, 2023). 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (2-OGDC) is a key metabolic enzyme necessary for the cyclic operation of the TCA cycle (Alamri et al, 2021).…”
