Zinc (Zn) is an essential component of thousands of proteins in plants, although it is toxic in
excess. In this review, the dominant fluxes of Zn in the soil–root–shoot continuum are …

Researchers are beginning to understand how some plant genotypes can maintain
reasonable growth and yields under low soil Zn, a trait termed zinc efficiency (ZE). Several …

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 …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. Because of its low availability
in arable soils worldwide, Zn deficiency is becoming a serious agricultural problem resulting …

Zinc plays many essential roles in life. As a strong Lewis acid that lacks redox activity under
environmental and cellular conditions, the Zn 2+ cation is central in determining protein …

The essential micronutrient zinc occurs in plants either as a free ion, or as a complex with a
variety of low molecular weight compounds. Zinc may also be incorporated as a component …

Zinc is an essential microelement involved in many aspects of plant growth and
development. Abnormal zinc amounts, mostly due to human activities, can be toxic to flora …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for all organisms, with key catalytic and structural
functions. Zn deficiency in plants, common in alkaline soils, results in growth arrest and …

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

This paper examines the interactions between Zn and other nutrients in soil reactions,
behaviour in plants and plant growth. It stresses the need for identification of the factor …
