Abstract excerpt
Zinc (Zn) is an essential element for plants but limited information is currently available on the molecular basis for Zn(2+) transport in crop species. To expand the knowledge on Zn(2+) transport in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), a cDNA library prepared from barley roots was expressed in the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) mutant strain Deltazrt1/Deltazrt2, defective in Zn(2+) uptake. This strategy resulted in...
