Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) are essential micronutrients for plant growth
and development, their deficiency or excess severely impaired physiological and …

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 …

The zinc/iron-regulated transporter-like protein (ZIP) family has a crucial role in Zn
homeostasis of plants. Although the ZIP genes have been systematically studied in many …

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 …

Zinc is an essential mineral for humans and plants and is involved in many physiological
and biochemical processes. In humans, Zn deficiency has been associated with retarded …

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 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 …

Tobacco is frequently considered as a plant useful for phytoremediation of metal-
contaminated soil, despite the mechanisms for regulation of uptake and accumulation being …

Deficiency of zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) is common in apple grown in orchards, which affects
fruit yield and quality. However, the mechanisms of absorption and transport of Zn and Fe in …
