Main conclusion This review highlights the most recent updated information available about
Zn phytotoxicity at physiological, biochemical and molecular levels, uptake mechanisms as …

Zinc (Zn), which is regarded as a crucial micronutrient for plants, and is considered to be a
vital micronutrient for plants. Zn has a significant role in the biochemistry and metabolism of …

Zinc is an essential microelement involved in many aspects of plant growth and
development. Abnormal zinc amounts, mostly due to human activities, can be toxic to flora …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. Unfortunately, deficiency of Zn
in humans has increased on a global scale. The main reason of this micronutrient deficiency …

In nature, land plants as sessile organisms are faced with multiple nutrient stresses that
often occur simultaneously in soil. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), and …

In plants, the excess of several heavy metals mimics iron (Fe) deficiency-induced chlorosis,
indicating a disturbance in Fe homeostasis. To examine the level at which heavy metals …

Phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) are three essential elements for plant survival, and
severe deficiencies in these nutrients lead to growth retardation and crop yield reduction …

Uptake, translocation, detoxification, and sequestration of heavy metals (HMs) are key
processes in plants to deal with excess amounts of HM. Under natural conditions, plant roots …

Human activity and natural processes have led to the widespread dissemination of metals
and metalloids, many of which are toxic and have a negative impact on plant growth and …

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 …
