Zn8

Plants generally take up zinc in the form of the divalent Zn²+ ion. Zinc keeps the output of oxygen radicals, which have a poisonous effect, under control. It takes place in the structures of various enzymes and activates many enzymes. It plays a role in carbohydrate, protein and auxin metabolism. Chlorophyll content of plants decreases extraordinarily in zinc deficiency.

The most obvious image of zinc deficiency in plants is stunted growth. While the veins in the leaves retain their green color, the interveins turn light green, yellow and even white. In zinc deficiency, the root grows relatively more and root secretions increase.
