The micronutrient zinc has an essential role in physiological and metabolic processes in
plants as a cofactor or structural element in 300 catalytic and noncatalytic proteins, but it is …

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 …

Arabidopsis halleri ssp. halleri (accession Langelsheim) is a naturally selected zinc (Zn)‐
and cadmium‐tolerant Zn hyperaccumulator. This plant differs strikingly from its close …

The hyperaccumulation of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) is a constitutive property of the
metallophyte Arabidopsis halleri. We therefore used Arabidopsis GeneChips to identify …

Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread, naturally occurring element present in soil, rock, water,
plants and animals. Cd is a non‐essential element for plants and is toxic at higher …

The metal hyperaccumulator Arabidopsis halleri exhibits naturally selected zinc (Zn) and
cadmium (Cd) hypertolerance and accumulates extraordinarily high Zn concentrations in its …

Metal hyperaccumulator plants accumulate and detoxify extraordinarily high concentrations
of metal ions in their shoots. Metal hyperaccumulation is a fascinating phenomenon, which …

To avoid zinc (Zn) toxicity, plants have developed a Zn homeostasis mechanism to cope with
Zn excess in the surrounding soil. In this report, we uncovered the difference of a cross …

Zinc is an essential microelement involved in many aspects of plant growth and
development. Abnormal zinc amounts, mostly due to human activities, can be toxic to flora …

In this review, we describe the need and progress to improve the iron and zinc contents in
crop plants by genetic means. To achieve this goal either by transgenic approaches or …
