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 …

During evolution, zinc was recruited for a wide range of biochemical functions in cells. About
8% of the proteins in a plant are Zn-binding. Among them are members of all six enzyme …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. Unfortunately, deficiency of Zn
in humans has increased on a global scale. The main reason of this micronutrient deficiency …

Availability of Zn to plant is hampered by its immobile nature and adverse soil conditions.
Thus, Zn deficiency is observed even though high amount is available in soil. Root-shoot …

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) deficiency is a well‐documented problem in plants, causing decreased yields and
nutritional quality. When facing a shortage in Zn supply, plants acclimatize by enhancing the …

Zinc (Zn), which is regarded as a crucial micronutrient for plants, and is considered to be a
vital micronutrient for plants. Zn has a significant role in the biochemistry and metabolism of …

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 …

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 …

Background Zn hyperaccumulating plants reach Zn concentrations in their leaves that are
several hundredfold higher than the target values set for Zn-biofortified crops. Scope This …
