Abstract
The invention relates to a method to change the capacity of a plant for adaptation to changes in the zinc concentration in the environment, especially the soil, comprising providing said plant with a nucleotide according to SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO: 2 or an ortholog thereof. Such a method is especially useful to decrease Zn deficiency or to (hyper)accumulate Zn in plants for bioremediation or for biofortification. Transgenic plants for these proteins are also disclosed.
