Zinc is one of the most important micronutrients required for optimal plant growth and
productivity. Paradoxically, a higher concentration of the same can be toxic for the plants …

It is a known fact that plants and animals need micronutrients like zinc (Zn) for their proper
growth and development. Zinc plays a significant role as activator of many enzymes, in …

As a micronutrient, zinc (Zn) is involved in enzyme activation (about 300 enzymes), gene
expression, phytohormone activity, protein synthesis, photosynthesis and carbohydrate …

Zinc (Zn), which is regarded as a crucial micronutrient for plants, and is considered to be a
vital micronutrient for plants. Zn has a significant role in the biochemistry and metabolism of …

During evolution, zinc was recruited for a wide range of biochemical functions in cells. About
8% of the proteins in a plant are Zn-binding. Among them are members of all six enzyme …

Availability of Zn to plant is hampered by its immobile nature and adverse soil conditions.
Thus, Zn deficiency is observed even though high amount is available in soil. Root-shoot …

Zinc (Zn) is an exceptional micronutrient regarding its relevance in biological systems
because it is the only trace metal represented in all classes of enzymes (Broadley et al …

The use of the essential element zinc (Zn) in the biochemistry of land plants is widespread,
and thus comparable to that in other eukaryotes. Plants have evolved the ability to adjust to …

An important goal of micronutrient biofortification is to enhance the amount of bioavailable
zinc in the edible seed of cereals and more specifically in the endosperm. The picture is …

Abstract The transition metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn) which are also considered as the
micronutrient are essential for plants as they regulate various cellular metabolic activities …
