The essentiality of 14 mineral elements so far have been reported in plant nutrition. Eight of
these elements were known as micronutrients due to their lower concentrations in plants …

Zrt/Irt-like proteins (ZIPs) play fundamental roles in metal metabolism/homeostasis and are
broadly involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes. The lack of high …

Understanding the molecular basis of zinc (Zn) uptake and transport in staple cereal crops is
critical for improving both Zn content and tolerance to low‐Zn soils. This study demonstrates …

Contamination of soil and water with heavy metals is a serious concern worldwide. It
adversely affects-plant growth as well as human health. Remdiation of these contaminated …

Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) deficiency are widespread among citrus plants, but the molecular
mechanisms regarding uptake and transport of these two essential metal ions in citrus are …

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors control important developmental and
physiological processes in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the three gene F-bZIP subfamily …

Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) exhibit unique properties advantageous in a number of
applications, but they also represent potential health and environmental risks. In this study …

Main conclusion Our study demonstrated that Zn alleviated Cd toxicity in the presence of Si
in the cell walls by Zn 2+ binding to ligands through the formation of the [Si-hemicellulose …

To date, several species of Asteraceae have been considered as Cd-accumulators.
However, little information on the Cd tolerance and associated mechanisms of Asteraceae …

Zinc (Zn) deficiency causes large scale yield losses in major crops such as rice, wheat and
maize. Zn is an important micronutrient and the only metal ion acting as a co-factor for all six …
