Micro-emulsion, chemical reduction, precipitation, hydrothermal techniques, and sol-gel are the most common chemical methods of synthesizing ZnO NPs [].Among these methods, the sol-gel synthesis is the most commonly used method, which uses chemical reagent and zinc precursor salt for the regulation of …
Essentiality of Zn as a micronutrient for higher plants was established for the first time by Sommer and Lipman ().Zinc is generally taken up as free divalent cation (Zn 2+), but at high pH it may be absorbed as monovalent cation (ZnOH +) (Marschner 1995).Zinc uptake across root plasma membrane is carrier-mediated secondary active …
Zinc is an essential micronutrient, but when out of balance it can cause problems ranging from diarrhea to cancer. ... Reed J, Li H, Soleimani M et al. ZIP8, member of the solute-carrier-39 (SLC39 ...
