Background and aimsZinc (Zn) is an essential nutrient for plants, as it functions as a component and cofactor of enzymes. Metallothioneins (MTs), are known to participate in the process of metal homeostasis have been hypothesized to be partially responsible for the distribution of Zn in plants. We aimed to characterize putative MT-like genes and to analyze their expression in response to Zn supplementation in coffee.
