Abstract Tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) were grown for 21-days in a
complete hydroponic nutrient solution including Fe3+-ethylenediamine-di (o …

The effects of Fe deficiency on different metabolic processes were characterized in roots,
xylem sap and leaves of tomato. The total organic acid pool increased significantly with Fe …

The Arabidopsis FRO2 gene encodes the iron deficiency-inducible ferric chelate reductase
responsible for reduction of iron at the root surface; subsequent transport of iron across the …

Although abundant in soils, iron (Fe) is poorly bioavailable for plants. Improving Fe uptake in
crops, enabling them to grow in Fe-depleted soils, has become a major focal interest. The …

Iron deficiency is a serious agricultural problem, particularly in alkaline soils. Secretion of
coumarins by Arabidopsis thaliana roots is induced under iron deficiency. An essential …

Iron is an essential micronutrient for most living organisms. Paradoxically, although iron is
abundant in many soils, iron availability is very often limiting for plant growth. In addition …

Iron is an essential element for plants as well as other organisms, functioning in various
cellular processes, including respiration, chlorophyll biosynthesis, and photosynthesis …

Roots of grasses in response to iron deficiency markedly increase the release of chelating
substances (phytosiderophores') which are highly effective in solubilization of sparingly …

Plants take up iron as ferric chelates or, after reduction, as ferrous ions. Ferric reduction
takes place at the plasma membrane of the root epidermis cells by a transmembrane redox …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. Fe availability
affects crops' productivity and the quality of their derived products and thus human nutrition …
