Abstract
The role of glutathione and dithiothreitol as reductants supporting arsenate reductase activity in root extract from the arsenic hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata was examined. The two reductants in combination enhanced arsenate reduction in vitro more than glutathione alone. The implications of these results for in vivo arsenate reduction are discussed.
