Heavy metal ions such as cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn),
molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) are considered essential/beneficial for optimal …

Magnesium ions (Mg2+) are the second most abundant cations in living plant cells, and they
are involved in various functions, including photosynthesis, enzyme catalysis, and nucleic …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Developing tissues such as meristem with low transpiration require high Zn levels for their
active growth, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the preferential distribution to these …

Low zinc (Zn) in soils reduces yield and grain Zn content. Regulation of ZRT/IRT‐like protein
(ZIP) family genes is a major mechanism in plant adaptation to low and fluctuating Zn in soil …

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study whether exogenous abscisic acid (ABA)
mediates the responses of poplars to excess zinc (Z n). P opulus× canescens seedlings …

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 …

Zinc (Zn) depletion adversely affects plant growth. To avoid lethal depletion of cellular Zn,
plants have evolved mechanisms to adjust the expression of genes associated with Zn …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient required for plant growth and development. In
Arabidopsis thaliana, several families of Zn transporters engaged in Zn import, export and …

Proteins containing a placenta‐specific 8 domain (PLAC8) function as major organ size
regulators in S olanum lycopersicum and Z ea may, and putative metal ion transporters in A …
