The uptake and distribution of Cd in potatoes over the course of a growing season was
investigated in two cultivars of potatoes that differed in tuber Cd concentration. Plants were …

Zinc is an essential trace element for life. Zinc is not only an important nutrient, cofactor of
numerous enzymes and transcription factors, but also it acts as an intracellular mediator …

The prostate gland of humans and other animals accumulates a level of zinc that is 3–10
times greater than that found in other tissues. Associated with this ability to accumulate zinc …

Iron is essential for plants. However, excess iron is toxic, leading to oxidative stress and
decreased productivity. Therefore, plants must use finely tuned mechanisms to keep iron …

Here we present a Zn transporter cDNA named MtZIP2 from the model legume Medicago
truncatula. MtZIP2 encodes a putative 37 kDa protein with 8-membrane spanning domains …

This review is a distillation of the vast amount of physiological and molecular data on plant
membrane transport, to provide a concise overview of the main processes involved in the …
