ZIP transporter gene family, which is mainly involved in absorption and transport of metal
cations, and plays an important role in plant, development and response to heavy metal …

The ZIP protein (ZRT, the IRT-like protein) is an important metal transporter that transports
Zn, Fe, and other divalent metal ions in plants. In this study, we identified 20 ZIP genes in …

The growth and metabolism of blueberry were greatly affected by the balance of metal ions.
ZIP transporter protein family played a key role in regulating the metal homeostasis in plants …

The ZIP gene family is a metal transporter capable of transporting various cations, including
iron, manganese and zinc. Metal transport and balance in plants are very important for …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. Zinc-regulated transporters
and iron-regulated transporter-like proteins (ZIP) are important zinc transporters in plants …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential microelement for plants. ZIP transporters play a critical role in Zn
homeostasis in plants. This in silico study characterizes different features of putative Zn …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and humans. Nearly 50% of the agriculture
soils of world are Zn-deficient. The low availability of Zn reduces the yield and quality of the …

Background Plant ZIP genes represent an important transporter family involved in metal
transport. Evidence has implied that some ZIPs may contribute to plant Cd uptake, but a …

The ZRT/IRT-like proteins (ZIPs) play critical roles in the absorption, transport, and
intracellular balance of metal ions essential for various physiological processes in plants …

Zinc and iron are essential mineral elements for the growth of Oryza sativa L. and also
micronutrients for human health. Therefore, it is vital to study biofortification of rice with Zn …
