Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of excess Zn on mineral nutrition and antioxidative response in rapeseed seedlings.
TL;DR: It is suggested that excess Zn exerts its toxicity partially through disturbing nutrient balance and inducing oxidative stress in plants through the adaptive mechanism in Zn non-hyperaccumulator plants.
