Changes in zinc mobility, physiological responses and gene expression result in differences in zinc tolerance in two Malus rootstocks by Jiayi Du, Sijun Qin, Jiali He, Deguo Lyu

“…However, the expression of genes related to Zn detoxification increased more in Mh roots than in Mb roots. Our results suggest that Mh is more tolerant than Mb to excess Zn, which is ascribed largely to the greater inhibition of Zn mobility and activation of physiological responses and the stricter regulation of the expression of key genes involved in Zn uptake, translocation, remobilization, and detoxification.…”
