SbIII and SbV uptake by As-hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata was investigated.
Effect of Sb's analogs (glycerol, silicic acid, glucose, arsenite, and phosphate) was tested.
Effect of aquaglyceroporin inhibitor (Ag) on Sb uptake was also studied.
P. vittata gametophyte preferred SbIII than SbV and accumulated Sb in the roots.
Neither Sb's analogs nor aquaglyceroporin inhibitor effected Sb uptake by P. vittata.
