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

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 …

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 …

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) deficiency is very widespread both from the plant and human nutrition perspective.
One of the approaches to improve Zn in crop plants is by over-expression of Zn transporters …

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 …

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 …

Rice has lower zinc (Zn) but higher cadmium (Cd) content in grains than other staple crops.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in Zn and Cd transportation could …

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 …

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 …
