Developing tissues such as meristems and reproductive organs require high zinc, but the
molecular mechanisms of how zinc taken up by the roots is preferentially delivered to these …

The use of the essential element zinc (Zn) in the biochemistry of land plants is widespread,
and thus comparable to that in other eukaryotes. Plants have evolved the ability to adjust to …

Plants are the principal source of iron in most diets, yet iron availability often limits plant
growth. In response to iron deficiency, Arabidopsis roots induce the expression of the …

Remediation of sites contaminated with toxic metals is particularly challenging. Unlike
organic compounds, metals cannot be degraded, and the cleanup usually requires their …

Cadmium (Cd) is an inorganic mineral in the earth's crust. Cadmium entry into the
environment occurs through geogenic and anthropogenic sources. Industrial activities …

Transition metals such as copper are essential for many physiological processes yet can be
toxic at elevated levels. Other metals (eg lead) are nonessential and potentially highly toxic …

Members of the ZIP gene family, a novel metal transporter family first identified in plants, are
capable of transporting a variety of cations, including cadmium, iron, manganese and zinc …

Монография посвящена анализу имеющихся в литературе данных и результатов
собственных исследований авторов, касающихся поглощения ионов тяжелых металлов …

Uptake and translocation of cationic nutrients play essential roles in physiological processes
including plant growth, nutrition, signal transduction, and development. Approximately 5% of …

Widespread soil contamination with heavy metals has fostered the need for plant breeders
to develop new crops that do not accumulate heavy metals. Metal-transporting …
