“…In Zn-deficient leaves of common bean (Cakmak and Marschner, 1993), pistachio (Tavallali et al, 2010), maize (Wang and Jin, 2007) and wheat (Yilmaz et al, 1998), CAT and POD activity has been reported, but in the present study converse results were observed (Table 2). Wang and Jin (2007) reported that in maize seedlings Zn supply had little and negligible effect on activation of CAT.…”

“…Foliar Zn and Mn application under drought stress can positively influence yield production and seed quality of safflower genotypes during different growth stages (Movaheddy-Dehnavy et al, 2009). Yilmaz et al (1998) reported that yield of wheat plants grown from high seed-Zn content was 116% higher than the yield of plants grown from the low seed-Zn content under rain fed and Zn-deficient soil. In chickpea, Zn deficiency reduced water use due to reduced plant growth and lower stomatal conductance and that water stress developed gradually as a consequence (Khan et al, 2004).…”

In order to study the effect of water deficit stress and zinc foliar application on yield, physiological traits and also on seed vigor and seedling emergence percentage in two soybean cultivars, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete block arrangement in split factorial design with three replications. The main factor was drought stress in three levels of optimal irrigation, withholding irrigation from vegetative growth stage and withholding irrigation from flowering stage; subordinate factors were the combination of foliar zinc application in three levels and two cultivars ('L17' and 'Clark 63'). Water deficit stress obviously decreased the yield, soluble protein and chlorophyll content in leaves. Proline and soluble sugars content were significantly increased in response to stress. Water deficit stress increased antioxidant enzymes activity. Also, water deficit stress decreased the germination rate, radicle and plumule dry weight. Foliar application with zinc sulfate increased the yield, germination rate and percentage, radicle and plumule weight. Zinc prevented the harmful effects of stress which caused decreasing of leaf protein, chlorophyll content and increasing proline and carbohydrate accumulation. In general, foliar application of zinc decreased the harmful effects of oxidative stress due to water deficit stress and improved growth conditions of plants.

“…Similarly in rice, seed treatment with Zn substantially improved growth and grain yield, which was cost effective and economically more viable than soil application and no application (Slaton et al, 2001). Likewise in another study, seed priming with Zn was more effective in increasing grain yield of wheat grown on Zn-deficient soils than foliar and soil application nonetheless seed priming did not affect the grain Zn concentration in contrast to foliar and soil application (Yilmaz et al, 1997(Yilmaz et al, , 1998. (Kang and Okoro, 1976).…”

Micronutrients are vital for plant growth and human health. Soil and foliar applications are the most prevalent methods of micronutrient addition but the cost involved and difficulty in obtaining high quality micronutrient fertilizers are major concerns with these in developing countries. Micronutrient seed treatments, which include seed priming and seed coating, are an attractive and easy alternative. Here in this review, we discuss the potential of micronutrient seed treatments for improving crop growth and grain nutrient enrichment. Micronutrient application through seed treatments improves the stand establishment, advances phenological events, and increases yield and micronutrient grain contents in most cases. In some instances, seed treatments are not beneficial; however, the negative effects are rare. In most cases, micronutrient application through seed treatment performed better or similar to other application methods. Being an easy and cost effective method of micronutrient application, seed treatments offer an attractive option for resourcepoor farmers.

“…High seed Zn content can increase seedling vigour when soil available Zn is low (Rengel and Graham, 1995b;Yilmaz et al, 1998). The ability of genotypes to utilise seed Zn reserves more efficiently by greater remobilisation of seed Zn into growing tissues may contribute to Zn efficiency.…”

Contribution of Different Mechanisms to Zinc Efficiency in Bread Wheat During Early Vegetative Stage

Zinc (Zn) has a vast number of functions in plant metabolism and consequently Zn deficiency has a range of effects on plant growth. There are a number of different possible mechanisms by which plants tolerate Zn deficiency (generally expressed as Zn efficiency), such as Zn uptake, translocation to the shoot and physiological efficiency. However, there have been no direct comparisons of the relative importance of these possible mechanisms of Zn efficiency in a large set of genotypes of contrasting Zn efficiency. Soil and solution culture studies were conducted to examine the relative contribution of different mechanisms of Zn efficiency at the whole plant level in bread and durum wheat during early vegetative stage. Zn treatments were 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 1 mg/kg soil in the soil culture, and nil in the solution culture. Visual symptoms of Zn deficiency, dry matter production, Zn uptake, Zn distribution between roots and shoots, Zn utilization in roots and shoots and Zn remobilisation from the seed into growing parts were examined. Significant genotypic differences were observed in most criteria and responses differed with external Zn supply. The results of the present study suggest that while there are a number of different mechanisms contributing to Zn efficiency, uptake is the major mechanism and the effect of this is modified by the physiological efficiency within the shoot. Root:shoot partitioning was not strongly associated with Zn efficiency and seed Zn remobilisation was not linked to Zn efficiency. Visual symptoms of the severity of Zn deficiency was a good predictor of Zn efficiency and was correlated with Zn uptake.
