Background Nicotiana benthamiana is a widely used model plant species for research on
plant-pathogen interactions as well as other areas of plant science. It can be easily …

Endosperm transfer cells (ETCs) are positioned at the intersection of maternal and filial
tissues in seeds of cereals and represent a bottleneck for apoplasmic transport of …

This study aims to improve the iron and zinc mobilization from soil to maize kernels using
cyanobacteria-based formulations. Towards this, focused analyses of plant physiological …

Zinc (Zn) is an important higher plant micronutrient; however, high amounts of Zn in soil may
negatively affect plant growth. In this study, two wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes …

Background Metal tolerance is often an integrative result of metal uptake and distribution,
which are fine-tuned by a network of signaling cascades and metal transporters. Thus, with …

Genetic improvement of maize with elevated levels of zinc (Zn) can reduce Zn deficiency
among populations who rely on maize as a staple. Inbred lines of quality protein maize …

Understanding the molecular mechanisms governing the uptake and accumulation of Zn in
the leaves of tobacco plants exposed to high Zn concentrations is important from the …

The ZIP (Zn-regulated, iron-regulated transporter-like protein) transporter plays an important
role in regulating the uptake, transport, and accumulation of microelements in plants …

Zinc (Zn) deficiency causes large scale yield losses in major crops such as rice, wheat and
maize. Zn is an important micronutrient and the only metal ion acting as a co-factor for all six …

Salt stress is a global environmental problem that affects plant growth and development.
Paulownia fortunei is an adaptable and fast-growing deciduous tree native to China that is …
