Zinc (Zn) is an essential element for the normal growth of plants but information is scarce on
the mechanisms whereby Zn is transported in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants. Four distinct …

Zinc (Zn), an essential nutrient in cells, plays a vital role in controlling cellular processes
such as growth, development, and differentiation. Although the mechanisms of Zn …

Zinc is essential for normal plant growth and development. To understand its transport in
rice, we characterized OsZIP5, which is inducible under Zn deficiency. OsZIP5 …

Zinc is an essential micronutrient for several physiological and biochemical processes. To
investigate its transport in rice, we characterized OsZIP8, a rice ZIP (Zrt, Irt-like Protein) gene …

Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and humans, involved
in protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism. In addition, Zn is critical to the …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for most organisms including humans, and Zn
deficiency is widespread in human populations, particularly in underdeveloped regions …

Zinc (Zn) is an important essential micronutrient for plants and humans; however, the exact
transporter responsible for root zinc uptake from soil has not been identified. Here, we found …

Background Metal homeostasis is critical for plant growth, development and adaptation to
environmental stresses and largely governed by a variety of metal transporters. The plant …

Abstract The elements Zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) have similar chemical and physical
properties, but contrasting physiological effects in higher organisms. In plants, Zn/Cd …

Micronutrients are important for the growth and development of plants, which deploy families
of transporters for their uptake and distribution. We have functionally characterized a novel …
