Background and aims Zinc (Zn) deficiency in humans is of worldwide concern and is primarily associated with a plant-based diet of crops grown in Zn-deficient soils. This work explores the effects of both soil factors and genotype on Zn accumulation in aboveground tissues in barley ( Hordeum vulgare...
