A better understanding of the role of the Arabidopsis ZIP family of micronutrient transporters
is necessary in order to advance our understanding of plant Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu …

Zinc (Zn) is essential for normal plant growth and development. The Zn‐regulated
transporter, iron‐regulated transporter (IRT)‐like protein (ZIP) family members are involved …

Millions of people worldwide suffer from nutritional imbalances of essential metals like zinc.
These same metals, along with pollutants like cadmium and lead, contaminate soils at many …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential element for plants but limited information is currently available on
the molecular basis for Zn2+ transport in crop species. To expand the knowledge on Zn2+ …

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 …

High expression of zinc (Z n)‐regulated, iron‐regulated transporter‐like protein (ZIP) genes
increases root Z n uptake in dicots, leading to high accumulation of Z n in shoots. However …

To broaden our understanding of micronutrient metal transport in plants, we have identified
cDNAs for six new metal transporters in the model legume Medicago truncatula. All of the …

Micronutrients are important for the growth and development of plants, which deploy families
of transporters for their uptake and distribution. We have functionally characterized a novel …

▪ Abstract This review summarizes current knowledge about genes whose products function
in the transport of various cationic macronutrients (K, Ca) and micronutrients (Cu, Fe, Mn …

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 …
