HPLC analysis showed that Zn deficiency induces the synthesis and secretion of MAs in barley plants. Studies of the genes involved in the methionine cycle using microarray analysis showed that the transcripts of these genes were increased in both Zn-deficient and Fe-deficient barley roots. Analysis using the PETIS confirmed that more Zn(II)-MAs than Zn were absorbed by the roots of Zn-deficient barley plants. These data suggest that the increased biosynthesis and secretion of MAs arising from a shortage of Zn are not due to an induced Fe deficiency, and that secreted MAs are effective in absorbing Zn from the soil.
