Plant architecture determines grain production in rice (Oryza sativa) and is affected by
important agronomic traits such as tillering, plant height, and panicle morphology. Many key …

By using hydroponics, this paper studied the physiological responses of trifoliate orange
(Poncirus trifoliata) seedlings to the deficiency of zinc (0 μmol∙ L< sup>-1 Zn< sup> 2+) …

One-third of all proteins require metal cofactors for function, yet metals can be toxic and
need to be tightly controlled. Metal homeostasis is basically the equilibrium between metal …

The zinc transporter (ZIP) involved in zinc uptake, controls the major steps in growth
