Article Synopsis
- * The study investigates how zinc transporters in vacuoles influence AA-induced RCD, with findings suggesting that zinc can protect against cell death and enhance ethanol production.
- * Deleting the vacuolar zinc transporter Zrt3 makes yeast more resistant to acetic acid and improves ethanol yield, indicating this genetic modification could strengthen yeast strains for industrial bioethanol production.
