Abstract:
:Zinc is an essential micronutrient. Genes responsible for zinc uptake have now been identified from yeast and plants. These genes belong to an extended family of cation transporters called the ZIP gene family. Zinc efflux genes that belong to another transporter family, the CDF family, have also been identified in yeast and Arabidopsis. It is clear that studies in yeast can greatly aid our understanding of zinc metabolism in plants.
