Abstract:Zinc (Zn) is essential for human health, but rice often lacks sufficient amounts. Leaf senescence is a vital developmental stage during which nutrients are redistributed to other organs. However, Zn retransfer during deficiency is often overlooked. In this hydroponic experiment, we studied the effect of Zn deficiency on rice seedlings, specifically focusing on the fourth leaf under control and deficient conditions. Growth phenotype analysis showed that the growth of rice nodal roots was inhibited under Zn defi… Show more
