Zinc isotopic fractionation in Phragmites australis in response to toxic levels of zinc
Stable isotope signatures of Zn have shown great promise in elucidating changes in uptake and translocation mechanisms of this metal in plants during environmental changes. Here this potential was tested by investigating the effect of high Zn concentrations on the isotopic fractionation patterns of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud. Plants were grown for 40 d in a nutritive solution co...
متن کاملSeedling response of three Eucalyptus species to copper and zinc toxic concentrations
Human activities have continuously increased the level of heavy metal ions circulating in the environment. It is important to understand the tolerance of plant species to high concentrations of heavy metals. Very little is known on the response of Eucalyptus species to Zn and Cu toxic concentrations Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. microtheca, and E. occidentalis seeds were grown in silt and irriga...
متن کاملZinc, Iron, and Chlorophyll Metabolism in Zinc-toxic Corn.
Zinc toxicity and Zn-Fe interactions were studied in corn (Zea mays L. var. Barbecue hybrid) grown in hydroponic culture. High Zn greatly reduced the root and shoot fresh weights; increasing Fe largely, but not completely, restored normal growth. Correlation analyses of root and leaf Zn and Fe contents suggested that Zn may interfere with the translocation of Fe; however, Zn toxicity was not as...
متن کاملDifferential Gene-Expression of Metallothionein 1M and 1G in Response to Zinc in Sertoli TM4 Cells
Background: Zinc (Zn) as an important trace element is essential for testicular development and spermatogenesis. Molecular mechanism of Zn action in the reproductive system may be related to metal binding low-molecular weight proteins, metallothioneins (MT). Our objective was to determine the effect of Zn on two important isoforms of MT, MT1M and MT1G genes expression on testicular sertoli cell...
متن کاملAbsorption Kinetics and Subcellular Fractionation of Zinc in Winter Wheat in Response to Nitrogen Supply
Nitrogen (N) is critical for zinc (Zn) absorption into plant roots; this in turn allows for Zn accumulation and biofortification of grain in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), an important food crop. However, little is known about root morphology and subcellular Zn distribution in response to N treatment at different levels of Zn supply. In this study, two nutrient solution culture experiment...
