Fig. 6From: OsZIP1 functions as a metal efflux transporter limiting excess zinc, copper and cadmium accumulation in riceZn, Cu and Cd concentrations in shoots and roots of WT, oszip1 mutant, RNAi lines and OX lines exposed to limiting Zn and Cu or lower concentration of Cd. Two day-old young plants were grown in the nutrient solutions with 0.1 µM Zn (a-c), 0.2 µM Cu (d-f) or supplemented with 1 µM Cd (g-i) for two weeks. Vertical bars represent standard deviation. Asterisks indicate that the mean values are significantly different between the oszip1 mutant/ RNAi lines/OX lines and wild-type (p<0.05)Back to article page
