Abstract excerpt
Low bioavailable concentrations of the micronutrient zinc (Zn) limit agricultural production on 40% of cultivated land. Here, we demonstrate that plant acclimation to Zn deficiency involves systemic regulation. Physiological Zn deficiency of Arabidopsis thaliana shoots results in increased root transcript levels of the membrane transport protein-encoding genes METAL TRANSPORT PROTEIN2 (MTP2) and HEAVY METAL...
