Abstract excerpt
Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants, but excessive concentrations induce cytotoxicity. As one of the world's primary crops, rice's response mechanisms to Zn toxicity remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterized a rice mutant, NG3-6, which exhibited enhanced sensitivity to Zn toxicity compared to the wild type (WT). At Zn concentrations of 40 μM and above, NG3-6 displayed severe...
