Heavy metals are naturally occurring in the earth's crust but anthropogenic and industrial
activities have led to drastic environmental pollutions in distinct areas. Plants are able to …

As a nonrenewable resource, phosphorus (P) is the second most important macronutrient for
plant growth and nutrition. Demand of phosphorus application in the agricultural production …

Manganese (Mn), an essential trace element, is important for plant health. In plants, Mn
serves as a cofactor in essential processes such as photosynthesis, lipid biosynthesis and …

Rapid development of zinc biology has broadened the applications of Zn-incorporated
biomaterials to tissue engineering but also raised concerns about the long-term safety of …

The maintenance of ion homeostasis in plant cells is a fundamental physiological
requirement for sustainable plant growth, development and production. Plants exposed to …

Plants need many different metal elements for growth, development and reproduction, which
must be mobilized from the soil matrix and absorbed by the roots as metal ions. Once taken …

Interactions between zinc (Zn) and phosphate (Pi) nutrition in plants have long been
recognized, but little information is available on their molecular bases and biological …

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) and zinc (Zn) are two essential nutrients for plant growth. In soils,
these two minerals are either present in low amounts or are poorly available to plants …

The divalent cation, zinc is the second most abundant metal in the human body and is
indispensable for life. Zinc concentrations must however, be tightly regulated as deficiencies …

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 …
