Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and humans. Nearly 50% of the agriculture
soils of world are Zn-deficient. The low availability of Zn reduces the yield and quality of the …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals owing to its structural and
catalytic roles in many proteins. Zn deficiency affects around 2 billion people, mainly those …

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 …

Micronutrients are essential factors for human health and integral for plant growth and
development. Among the micronutrients, zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) deficiency in dietary food …

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

In plants, iron (Fe) transport and homeostasis are highly regulated processes. Fe deficiency
or excess dramatically limits plant and algal productivity. Interestingly, complex and …

Abstract Globally, about 20% of calories (energy) come from wheat. In some countries, it is
more than 70%. More than 2 billion people are at risk for zinc deficiency and even more …
