From: Zn/Cd status-dependent accumulation of Zn and Cd in root parts in tobacco is accompanied by specific expression of ZIP genes

Fig. 6

Expression of ZIP genes in the leaves of tobacco plants after short-term exposure to Cd. 5.5-week old plants grown in the quarter-strength Knop’s medium were exposed to the control medium containing 1 μM Zn with (1 μM Cd) or without Cd for 3 h, 1 day, or 3 days. Expression of NtZIP1-like (a), NtZIP4A (b), NtZIP4B (c), NtZIP5-like (d), NtZIP8 (e), NtZIP11 (f). Expression of NtZIP2, NtZIP5A, NtZIP5B, NtIRT1, NtIRT1-like were not detected in leaves. Gene expression was normalized to the PP2A level. Values correspond to arithmetic means ±SD (n = 3); those with the ratio greater than 2 are considered significantly different
