Zinc plays many essential roles in life. As a strong Lewis acid that lacks redox activity under
environmental and cellular conditions, the Zn 2+ cation is central in determining protein …

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 …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. Because of its low availability
in arable soils worldwide, Zn deficiency is becoming a serious agricultural problem resulting …

Zinc (Zn), which is regarded as a crucial micronutrient for plants, and is considered to be a
vital micronutrient for plants. Zn has a significant role in the biochemistry and metabolism of …

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 …

As a micronutrient, zinc (Zn) is involved in enzyme activation (about 300 enzymes), gene
expression, phytohormone activity, protein synthesis, photosynthesis and carbohydrate …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for all organisms, with key catalytic and structural
functions. Zn deficiency in plants, common in alkaline soils, results in growth arrest and …

Nearly 10% of all plant proteins belong to the zinc (Zn) proteome. They require Zn either for
catalysis or as a structural element. Most of the protein-bound Zn in eukaryotic cells is found …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential component of thousands of proteins in plants, although it is toxic in
excess. In this review, the dominant fluxes of Zn in the soil–root–shoot continuum are …

Availability of Zn to plant is hampered by its immobile nature and adverse soil conditions.
Thus, Zn deficiency is observed even though high amount is available in soil. Root-shoot …
