3 sty 2022 · Here, we review the current understanding of zinc homeostasis in plants from the molecular and physiological perspectives. We provide an overview of approaches pursued so far in Zn biofortification of crops.
1 sie 2012 · Following this background, Zn uptake and translocation and its functions in plants are described, being its toxic effect on growth, photosynthetic activity and oxidative stress discussed.
29 cze 2024 · Zinc is a vital component in plants, acting as a structural catalyst and co-catalyst in over 300 enzymes such as aldolase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, alcohol dehydrogenase, carboxypeptidase, and carbonic anhydrase (Ahanger et al. 2016). Carbonic anhydrase activity is decreased by zinc deficiency, which impacts photosynthesis.
Plants are the ultimate source of zinc in the human diet, and human Zn deficiency accounts for over 400 000 deaths annually. Here, we review the current understanding of zinc homeostasis in plants from the molecular and physiological perspectives.
27 mar 2023 · This review describes the association of Zinc (Zn) in developing a plant’s defence mechanism and reducing the severity of diseases. It was found that Zn plays an important role in the functioning of enzymes/proteins like alcohol dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutases, metallothionein and zinc-finger proteins involved in plants’ response to ...
Here, we review the current understanding of zinc homeostasis in plants from the molecular and physiological perspectives. We provide an overview of approaches pursued so far in Zn biofortification of crops. Finally, we outline a “push-pull” model of zinc nutrition in plants as a simplifying concept.
7 lut 2007 · In this review, the dominant fluxes of Zn in the soil–root–shoot continuum are described, including Zn inputs to soils, the plant availability of soluble Zn 2+ at the root surface, and plant uptake and accumulation of Zn.
