As a component of enzymes, zinc acts as a catalyst in the synthesis of fructose-6 phosphate, which is an important metabolite in glycolysis and therefore photosynthesis. It affects the indole-3-acidic acid content which is important for regulation of plant growth. Zinc plays an essential role in ATP and protein synthesis.
