What is the Role of Zinc in Rice Plants? Zinc is an essential micronutrient required by rice plants in small amounts, but it has a significant impact on growth and yield. What are the Functions of Zinc in Rice Plants? First, zinc activates enzymes. Zinc is the "key" to activating many enzymes in the plant. These enzymes help rice process nutrients from fertilizers and the products of photosynthesis. Second, it functions as a precursor to the growth hormone or auxin. Plants need auxin to elongate, branch, and produce shoots. Without zinc, this hormone cannot form properly. Third, it helps form chlorophyll. With the help of zinc, chlorophyll can function optimally, resulting in greener leaves. Fourth, it regulates the formation of protein and starch. Zinc is involved in the process of rice grain formation, resulting in full, full grains.
