Zinc Uptake and Radial Transport in Roots of Arabidopsis thaliana: A Modelling Approach to Understand Accumulation

Juliane Claus, Ansgar Bohmann, Andrés Chavarría-Krauser

Zinc uptake in roots is believed to be mediated by ZIP (ZRT-, IRT-like Proteins) transporters. Once inside the symplast, zinc is transported to the pericycle, where it exits by mea…
