Changing paradigms for the micronutrient zinc, a known protein cofactor, as a signal relaying also cellular redox state [PDF]
Quantitative Plant BiologyThe micronutrient zinc (Zn) is often poorly available but toxic when present in excess, so a tightly controlled Zn homoeostasis network operates in all organisms. This review summarizes our present understanding of plant Zn homoeostasis.
