Plants need many different metal elements for growth, development and reproduction, which
must be mobilized from the soil matrix and absorbed by the roots as metal ions. Once taken …

Plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to tightly control the acquisition and
distribution of copper and iron in response to environmental fluctuations. Recent studies with …

P1B-type heavy-metal ATPases (HMAs) are transmembrane metal-transporting proteins that
play a key role in metal homeostasis. Despite their importance, very little is known about …

Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) are essential micronutrients for plant growth
and development, their deficiency or excess severely impaired physiological and …

Heavy metal-transporting P-type ATPase (HMA) has been implicated in the transport of
heavy metals in plants. Here, we report the function and role of an uncharacterized member …

Micronutrient malnutrition is a major health problem in China. According to a national
nutritional survey, approximately 24% of all Chinese children suffer from a serious deficiency …

Iron and zinc are 2 important nutrients in the human diet. Their deficiencies in humans lead
to a variety of health‐related problems. Iron and zinc biofortification of cereals is considered …

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 …

This present review critically discusses the detailed study of zinc (Zn) involvement in animal,
plant and human nutrition. The status of micronutrients in food is unquestionable. Among all …

The agriculture-based livelihood systems that are already vulnerable due to multiple
challenges face immediate risk of increased crop failures due to weather vagaries. As …
