Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient with numerous cellular functions in plants, and its
deficiency represents one of the most serious problems in human nutrition worldwide. Zn …

Introduction Multiple studies have shown strong relationships between different nutrients in
plants, and the important role of N in Zn acquisition and translocation has been recognized …

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 both plants and animals, while its deficiency in
crops and humans is a global problem that affects both crop productivity and human health …

It is often expected that Zn decreases Cd accumulation in plants due to competition for the
same transporters. Here, we found that increasing Zn supply markedly increased the root-to …

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 …

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 …

Aims: Agronomy and breeding actively search for options to enhance cereal grain Zn
density. Quantifying internal (re-) allocation of Zn as affected by soil and crop management …

Zn deficiency is a widespread problem in rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown under flooded
conditions, limiting growth and grain Zn accumulation. Genotypes with Zn deficiency …

Background Among cereals, rice has a genetic propensity to accumulate high levels of
cadmium (Cd) in grains. Xylem-mediated root-to-shoot translocation rather than root uptake …
