The identification of aquaglyceroporins as uptake channels for arsenic and antimony shows how these toxic elements can enter the food chain, and suggests that food plants could be genetically modified to exclude arsenic while still accumulating boron and silicon.
水甘油通道蛋白被鉴定为砷和锑的摄取通道，这表明了这些有毒元素是如何进入食物链的，并且提示可以对食用植物进行基因改造，使其在积累硼和硅的同时排除砷。
