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 …

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 …

Trichomes are epidermal outgrowths on plant shoots. Their roles in protecting plants against
herbivores and in the biosynthesis of specialized metabolites have long been recognized …

Environmental changes are inevitable with time, but their intensification and diversification,
occurring in the last several decades due to the combination of both natural and human …

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 …

Excess potentially toxic elements (PTEs), including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb),
and zinc (Zn), above permissible limits in the environment, have detrimental effects on …

Exocyst component of 70-kDa (EXO70) proteins are constituents of the exocyst complex
implicated in vesicle tethering during exocytosis. MILDEW RESISTANCE LOCUS O (MLO) …

Solanaceous plants are ubiquitous and are able to colonize degraded, abandoned and
metal polluted habitats. Members of the family have evolved interesting extrinsic and …

Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are found increasingly in different water bodies,
making the investigation of their uptake and distribution behavior in plants a matter of high …

Physiological, agricultural and toxicological impact of an excess of Zn in the soil is an
important issue, as Zn is a heavy metal and impairs many processes of plants and animals …
