This study addressed some complementary aspects related to plant Fe nutrition. A field and a greenhouse experiment were conducted to monitor changes in chlorophyll, Fe3+, Fe2+, Ca2+ and K+ along with the progressive evolution of lime‐induced chlorosis, and following soil (Fe‐EDDHA, Fe‐EDTA, Fe‐DTPA, DTPA) and foliar (Fe‐EDDHA, FeSO4, “Fe‐Metalosate") treatments, in a chlorosis‐susceptible ornamental plant, Hydrangea macrophylla, over a year's growing period. Though soil Fe‐EDDHA was the most effective compound in alleviating chlorosis symptoms, it became less so with time and was only partly effective as a foliar spray. Leaf analysis showed that as chlorosis intensified and chlorophyll content decreased, phenanthroline ‐ Fe (Fe2+) decreased with corresponding increases in total iron (Fe3+) and K+ concentrations. The reliability of these chlorosis‐indicators was confirmed as the reverse changes occurred upon chlorosis plant recovery.  相似文献

Cool white fluorescent (CWF) light reduces Fe3+ to Fe2+ while low pressure sodium (LPS) light does not. Cotton plants grown under CWF light are green, while those yrown under LPS light develop a chlorosis very similar to the chlorosis that develops when the plants are deficient in iron (Fe). It could be that CWF light (which has ultra violet) makes iron more available for plant use by maintaining more Fe2+ in the plant. Two of the factors commonly induced by Fe‐stress in dicotyledonous plants‐‐hydroyen ions and reductants released by the roots‐‐were measured as indicators of the Fe‐deficiency stress response mechanism in M8 cotton.

The plants were grown under LPS and CWF light in nutrient solutions containing either NO3‐N or NH4‐N as the source of nitrogen, and also in a fertilized alkaline soil. Leaf chlorophyll concentration varied significantly in plants grown under the two light sources as follows: CWF+Fe > LPS+Fe > CWF‐Fe ≥ LPS‐Fe. The leaf nitrate and root Fe concentrations were significantly greater and leaf Fe was generally lower in plants grown under LPS than CWF light. Hydrogen ions were extruded by Fe‐deficiency stressed roots grown under either LPS or CWF light, but “reductants”; were extruded only by the plants grown under CWF light. In tests demonstrating the ability of light to reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+ in solutions, enough ultra violet penetrated the chlorotic leaf of LPS yrown plants to reduce some Fe3+ in a beaker below, but no reduction was evident through a yreen CWF grown leaf.

The chlorosis that developed in these cotton plants appeared to be induced by a response to the source of liyht and not by the fertilizer added. It seems possible that ultra violet liyht could affect the reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ in leaves and thus control the availability of this iron to biological systems requiring iron in the plant.  相似文献

A method has been developed to consistently induce increases in root ferric chelate reductase activity in the fruit tree rootstock GF 677 (Prunus amygdalopersica) grown under iron (Fe) deficiency. Clonal GF 677 plants were grown hydroponically in a growth chamber with 0 or 90 μM Fe(III)‐EDTA. Root ferric chelate reductase activity was measured in vivo using BPDS. Plants grown without Fe developed visible symptoms of chlorosis and had lower root ferric chelate reductase activities than those grown with Fe. Root ferric chelate reductase activities were 0.1–1.9 and 0.6–5.3 nmol of Fe reduced per gram of fresh mass and minute, respectively, in Fe‐deficient and sufficient plants. However, when plants grown without Fe for several days were resupplied with 180 μM of Fe(III)‐EDTA, FC‐R activities increased within 1 day. The FC‐R values after Fe resupply were 20‐fold higher than those found in Fe‐deficient plants and 5‐fold higher than those found in the Fe‐sufficient controls. After three days of the Fe treatments the FC‐R activities had decreased again to the control values. The reduction of Fe was localized at the subapical root zone. In the conditions used we have found no decreases of the nutrient solution pH values, indicating that this type of response is not strong enough to be detected in peach tree rootstocks. Also, no major changes in root morphology have been found in response to Fe deficiency. This ferric chelate reductase induction protocol may be used in screening assays to select rootstock genotypes tolerant to Fe chlorosis.  相似文献

Abstract

Genotypic evaluation is critical to development of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars with genetic resistance to Fe‐deficiency chlorosis. Root Fe3+ reducing activity is correlated with genotypic resistance to Fe chlorosis measured in field nurseries, and thus may be a reliable method for identifying chlorosis‐resistat genotypes. However, to develop methods useful for large‐scale screening, several modifications of the previously published procedure for measuring root Fe3+ reducing activity were investigated. Several hydroponic experiments were conducted to test proposed modifications. It was determined that: (a) different genotypes may be grown together in the same nutrient solution without affecting Fe3+ reduction, (b) genotype separation is maximized by growth in CaCO3 buffered solution (37.5 mg L?1), (c) a labor‐intensive elongation step can be eliminated, and (d) denotype evaluation can be accomplished without introducing Fe into the hydroponic solutions. These refinements to the procedure should allow its adaptation and use in soybean breeding programs.  相似文献

Many dicotyledonous species respond to iron (Fe) deficiency by morphological and physiological changes at root level, which are usually defined as Strategy I. Particularly, these latter modifications include a higher acidification of the external medium and the induction of a high root Fe reductase activity. The aim of this work was to investigate the response of kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward) plants, which often exhibit Fe chlorosis in the field, to Fe deficiency. Actinidia kept for two weeks in nutrient solution without Fe showed visual deficiency symptoms (leaf chlorosis). Moreover, upon prolonged micronutrient shortage shoot, and to a lesser extent, root dry weight accumulation was greatly impaired. Roots of Fe‐deficient Actinidia showed an increased capacity of net proton extrusion and higher ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetate [Fe(III)EDTA] reductase activity as compared to plants grown in the presence of 10 μM Fe(III)EDTA. Localization of the increased acidification and reductase capacity by means of agar‐technique revealed that these activities are both present in the sub‐apical region of the roots. Re‐supply of Fe after two weeks partially reversed the tendency of the roots to acidify the nutrient solution and to reduce Fe(III)EDTA.  相似文献

Abstract

Five dry bean cultivars (Coco blanc, Striker, ARA14, SVM29‐21, and BAT477) were evaluated for their resistance to iron deficiency on the basis of chlorosis symptoms, plant growth, capacity to acidify the external medium and the root‐associated Fe3+‐reduction activity. Plants were grown in nutrient solution supplied or not with iron, 45 µM Fe(III)EDTA. For all cultivars, plants subjected to iron starvation exhibited Fe‐chlorosis. These symptoms were more severe and more precocious in BAT477 and Coco blanc than in the others cultivars. An important acidification of the culture medium was observed between the 4th and the 8th days of iron starvation in Striker, SVM29‐21 and, particularly, ARA14 plants. However, all Fe‐sufficient plants increased the nutrient solution pH. This capacity of acidification appeared more clearly when protons extrusion was measured in 10 mM KCl + 1 mM CaCl2. The above genotypic differences were maintained: ARA14 showed the higher acidification followed by Coco blanc and BAT477. Iron deficiency led also to an increase of the root‐associated Fe(III)‐reductase activity in all lines. However, genotypic differences were observed: Striker shows the highest capacity of iron reduction under Fe deficiency condition.  相似文献

Abstract

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is susceptible to iron (Fe) chlorosis, however, plant analysis diagnostic criteria are lacking for determining the intensity of chlorosis in this crop. As total Fe content is a misleading index of Fe nutritional status of plants, determination of physiologically active Fe fraction (Fe2+) is suggested for the purpose. In a nutrient indexing survey of the chlorosis‐affected peanut crop grown in the rainfed Potohar plateau of Pakistan, o‐phenanthroline extractable Fe2+ concentration in plants decreased with increasing severity of chlorosis and thus proved an effective technique for determining the intensity of Fe chlorosis. Green plants contained 40.1 to 67.3 mg Fe2+/kg, mildly chlorotic 32.1 to 40.0 mg Fe2+/kg, moderately chlorotic 28.0 to 32.0 mg Fe2+/kg, and severely chlorotic <28.0 mg Fe2+/kg. The minimum Fe2+ requirement in green plants was estimated to be 40 mg/kg on dry weight basis. In rainfed field experiments on a calcareous Typic Hapludalfs soil, foliar sprays of 1% solution of sequestrene (NaFeEDDHA) proved superior to the foliar sprays of 0.5% FeSO4.7H2O in correcting Fe chlorosis in two cultivars of peanut. Maximum increase in pod yield with sequestrene was 42% in cv. BARD‐92 and 27% in cv. BARD‐699 over the respective control yields. Ferrous concentration in plants increased with both the Fe sources, however, a substantial increase was recorded only with sequestrene. As peanut is a low‐input high‐risk rainfed crop, correction of Fe chlorosis by using sequestrene may not be economically feasible. Thus, development and/or screening of peanut varieties tolerant to Fe chlorosis is suggested by employing Fe2+ analysis technique.  相似文献

Onion (Allium sativum) plants grown without iron (Fe) in sterile nutrient solutions readily developed chlorosis symptoms. Iron deficiency in the sterile‐grown plants stimulated the rates of root extracellular reduction of Fe3+, copper (Cu2+), manganese (Mn4+), and other artificial electron acceptors. While rapid reduction occurred with the synthetic chelate Fe3+HEDTA, no short‐term reduction occurred with the fungal siderophore Fe3+ferrioxamine B (FeFOB). In addition to the increased rate of extracellular electron transfer at the root surfaces, the Fe‐deficient plants showed greater rates of Fe uptake and translocation than the onion plants grown with Fe. The rates of uptake and translocation of Fe were sharply higher for the Fe‐deficient plants supplied with FeHEDTA than for similar plants supplied with FeFOB. Inhibition by BPDS of the Fe uptake by the Fe‐deficient onion plants further supported the importance of Fe3+ chelate reduction for the uptake of Fe into the roots. Rates of Fe uptake and translocation by Fe‐deficient onion plants supplied with 55FeFOB were identical to the rates of uptake of ferrated [14C]‐FOD; a result that gives evidence of the uptake and translocation of the intact ferrated siderophore, presumably by a mechanism not involving prior extracellular Fe3+ reduction. Differences in the rates of transport of other micronutrients into the roots of the Fe‐deficient onion plants were evident by the significantly higher Zn and Mn levels in the shoots of the Fe‐deficient onion.  相似文献

Tumorous crown gall tissue in sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) initiates a mechanism for making Fe available to itself as evidenced by its ability to reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+. The objective of this study was to determine if a limited Fe supply to the plant might affect the growth, nutrition and reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ by the tumorous crown gall. Healthy green 14‐day‐old sunflower plants (cv mammoth Russian) were either stem‐inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens to induce tumorous crown gall tissue development or were left uninoculated for comparison. The plants were grown in a modified Hoagland nutrient solution with treatments containing 0.0, 0.15, 0.6 and 2.0 mg Fe L‐1. The 0 mg Fe L‐1 treatment induced maximum Fe chlorosis, and consequently there was a release of hydrogen ions and of a yellow pigment by the roots, but there was no measureable release of ‘reductants’ by the roots. Iron‐deficiency stress (0 mg Fe L‐1) also resulted in reduced tumorous crown gall growth, less reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+, and lower levels of Fe in the tumorous tissue compared to tumorous tissues adequately supplied with Fe. The tumorous crown gall tissue on the stem reduced much more Fe3+ to Fe2+ than the nontumorous stem tissue regardless of Fe level in the treatment. Tumor tissue contained more Fe, Cu and P than the nontumorous stem tissues which may indicate a modified metabolism in this tissue. An abundant supply of Fe seems to enhance the development and growth of the tumorous crown gall tissue and a deficient supply of Fe retards its growth.  相似文献

Abstract

Two tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., cvs. Pakmor and Target) genotypes differing in resistance to iron (Fe) deficiency were grown in nutrient solution under controlled environmental conditions over 50 days to study the relationships between severity of leaf chlorosis, total concentration of Fe, and activities of Fe‐containing enzymes in leaves. The activities of Fe‐containing enzymes ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, and guaiacol peroxidase, and additionaly the activity of glutathione reductase, an enzyme that does not contain Fe, were measured. Plants were supplied with 2 × 10?7 M (Fe deficient) and 10?4 M (Fe sufficient) FeEDTA, respectively. Leaf chlorosis appeared more rapidly and severely in Target (Fe deficiency senstive genotype) than Pakmor (Fe deficiency resistant genotype). On day 50, Pakmor had 2‐fold more chlorophyll than Target under Fe deficiency, while at adequate supply of Fe the two genotypes were very similar in chlorophyll concentration. Despite distinct differences in development of leaf chlorosis and chlorophyll concentrations, Pakmor and Target were very similar in concentrations of total Fe under Fe deficiency. In contrast to Fe concentration, activities of Fe‐containing enzymes were closely related to the severity of leaf chlorosis. The Fe‐containing enzymes studied, especially catalase, showed a close relationship with the concentration of chlorophyll and thus differential sensitivity of tomato genotypes to Fe deficiency. Glutathione reductase did not show relationship between Fe deficiency chlorosis and enzyme activity. The results confirm that measurement of Fe‐containing enzymes in leaves is more reliable than the total concentration of Fe for characterization of Fe nutritional status of plants and for assessing genotypical differences in resistance to Fe deficiency. It appears that Fe deficiency‐resistant genotype contains more physiologically available Fe in tissues than the genotype with high sensitivity to Fe deficiency.  相似文献

The excretion of phytosiderophores by barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has recently been documented and a major difference in the Fe‐stress response of gramineous species and dicotyledonous species proposed. However, currently used methods of quantifying and measuring phytosiderophore are tedious or require specialized equipment and a cultivar easily accessible to U.S. scientists is needed. The objectives of this study were (a) to determine if “Steptoe”; and “Europa”; (used as a control cultivar) barleys would release Fe3+ solubilizing compounds in response to Fe‐deficiency stress and (b) to develop a technique to determine the efficiency of solubilization of Fe(OH)3 by the released chelating substances. Two cultivars of barley were place under Fe‐stressed (‐Fe) and nonstressed (+Fe) conditions in modified Hoagland solutions (14 L). The solutions were periodically monitored for H+ and reductant release from the roots and plants were rated daily for chlorosis development. Periodic (6 or 7 harvests) evaluation of the release of Fe3+ solubilizing substances was performed as herein described. Neither H+ nor reductant extrusion occurred with either cultivar during Fe stress. However, Fe3+ solubilizing substances were released by both cultivars at relatively high levels under Fe‐stress conditions compared to the nonstressed plants. A convenient technique was developed to measure the release of Fe solubilizing substances released by barley roots.  相似文献

Abstract

Iron (Fe) chlorosis, an Fe deficiency commonly observed in grapevines cultivated on calcareous soils, generally inhibits plant growth and decreases yield. The objective of this research was to relate the incidence of Fe chlorosis in vines of the Montilla‐Moriles area, southern Spain, to indigenous soil properties. Thirty‐five grapevines (V. vinífera L. cv. Pedro Ximenez grafted on V. berlandieri×V. rupestris 110 Ritcher) showing different degree of Fe chlorosis were selected from 13 vineyards. The leaf chlorophyll concentration (estimated by the SPAD value measured with a Minolta meter) was positively correlated with the contents in different soil Fe forms but not with alkalinity‐related soil properties (pH, calcium carbonate equivalent, and active lime). The acid NH4 oxalate‐extractable Fe (Feo) was the most useful simple variable to predict the occurrence of Fe chlorosis. A Feo/active lime ratio of 25×10–4 was found to be useful to class soils into two groups according to the probability of inducing Fe chlorosis.  相似文献

Abstract

Problems are invariably encountered when attempts are made to explain the variability in Bray percent yields or plant response in terms of soil or plant iron (Fe). To resolve this inconsistency, the present investigation was initiated to identify a combination of soil extractable Fe, soil properties and form of plant Fe that may be used as a measure of Fe deficiency. The study involved 16 diverse soils, using upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) as the test crop and Fe‐EDDHA [ferric ethylenediamine di (o‐hydroxyl‐phenyl acetic acid)] as source of Fe. The results showed that Bray percent yields were neither related to DTPA (diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid) or EDTA (ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid) extractable Fe nor with total plant Fe. Even the inclusion of pH, lime, organic carbon and clay data in the regression equations was of no value. However, Bray percent yields were significantly and positively (r = 0.57* ) associated with ferrous Fe (Fe2+) in 40‐day‐old rice plants. The explanation concerning variability in Bray percent yields obtained on diverse soils could be increased about one and half 2 times (R2= 0.59*) if the contribution of lime and soil pH was also incorporated in the stepwise regression analysis. The individual contribution to R of lime, pi respectively. Thus, it appears that Fe2+ concentration in plants (along with soil pH) may identify Fe deficiency. The critical limit to separate Fe deficient from green rice plants was set at 45 ug Fe2+/g in the leaves.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Chlorosis in crops grown on calcareous soil is mainly due to iron (Fe) deficiency and can be alleviated by leaf application of soluble Fe2+ or diluted acids. Whether chlorosis in indigenous plants forced to grow on a calcareous soil is also caused by Fe deficiency has, however, not been demonstrated. Veronica officinalis, a widespread calcifuge plant in Central and Northern Europe, was cultivated in two experiments on acid and calcareous soils. As phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the major causes of the inability of many calcifuges to grow on calcareous soil we added phosphate to half of the soils. Leaves in pots with the unfertilized and the P-fertilized soil, respectively, were either sprayed with FeSO4 solution or left unsprayed. Total Fe, P, and manganese (Mn) in leaves and roots and N remaining in the soil after the experiment were determined. In a second experiment, no P was added. Leaves were either sprayed with FeSO4 or with H2SO4 of the same pH as the FeSO4 solution. Degree of chlorosis and Fe content in leaves were determined. Calcareous soil grown plants suffered from chlorosis, which was even more pronounced in the soils supplied with P. Newly produced leaves were green with Fe spray but leaves that were chlorotic before the onset of spraying did not totally recover. H2SO4 spray even increased chlorosis. This demonstrated that chlorosis was due to Fe deficiency. As total leaf Fe was similar on acid and calcareous soil, it was a physiological Fe deficiency, caused by leaf tissue immobilization in a form that was not metabolically “active”. Iron in the leaves was also extracted by 1,10-phenanthroline, an Fe chelator. In both experiments, significant differences between leaves from acid and calcareous soil were found in 1,10-phenanthroline extractable Fe but not in total leaf Fe, when calculated on a dry weight basis. Differences in 1,10-phenanthroline extractable Fe were more pronounced when calculated per unit dry weight than calculated per leaf area, whereas the opposite condition was valid for total leaf Fe.  相似文献

Zinc‐inefficient Sanilac and Zn‐efficient Saginaw navy bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) differ in their susceptibility to Zn‐deficiency stress. Sanilac accumulates Fe under Zn‐deficiency stress and Saginaw does not. These two navy bean cultivars were grown at 0, 0.006 and 0.12 mg/L Zn in modified Hoagland nutrient solution. Various Fe‐stress response mechanisms were quantified periodically over a 12‐day experimental period to determine if known factors in the Fe‐stress response mechanism were enhanced by Zn‐deficiency stress. Visual Zn‐deficiency symptoms were more severe in Sanilac than Saginaw navy bean under equivalent Zn treatments. Sanilac contained lower leaf Zn than Saginaw when Zn was present in solution (0.006 and 0.12 mg/L Zn), but the two cultivars were similar in leaf Zn in the absence of Zn (0 mg/L Zn). Sanilac accumulated more leaf Fe than Saginaw when under Zn stress (0 and 0.006 mg/L Zn). The higher levels of leaf Fe in Sanilac than Saginaw were closely associated with enhanced release of reductants and increased reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ by roots of Sanilac. Saginaw navy bean roots reduced Fe3+ to Fe2+ similarly to Sanilac with adequate Zn present in solution (0.12 mg/L), but experienced minuscule levels of Fe3+ reduction under Zn deficiency. Zinc deficiency stimulated the initiation of the Fe‐stress response mechanism in Sanilac, but not Saginaw, which may have enhanced the development of Zn‐deficiency symptoms in Sanilac due to the increased uptake of Fe by this cultivar. The common Fe‐deficiency stress response associated primarily with grasses (release of phytosiderophore) was not found in either navy bean cultivar.  相似文献

Abstract

The ferric‐chelate reductase induced by Fe deficiency is also able to reduce other ions such as Cu2+. This Cu(II)‐reduction has been less studied and it has been suggested that Cu2+ ion rather than Cu2+‐chelate serves as the substrate. Ferric‐chelate reductase activity is inhibited by some metals, but the mechanisms implicated are not known. In the present work we use Fe‐deficient cucumber seedlings to study the interactions of Cu2+, Ni2+, Mn4+, and Fe3+ on both Fe(III)‐reduction and Cu(II)‐reduction activities. The response of Cu(II)‐reduction activity to Cu concentration, in the presence or absence of citrate, was also studied. Results showed that inhibition of the ferric‐chelate reductase activity by Cu2+ or Ni2+ could be partially reversed by increasing the concentration of Fe‐EDTA. The Cu(II)‐reduction activity was even stimulated by Fe‐EDTA or Ni2+; it was inhibited by a high concentration of Cu2+ itself; and it was not affected by the absence of citrate. Mn4+ caused a moderate inhibition of both Fe(III)‐reduction and Cu(II)‐reduction activities. Results agree with the hypothesis that free Cu2+ ion is the substrate for Cu(II)‐reduction and suggest that the mechanisms involved in Fe(III)‐reduction and Cu(II)‐reduction could have some differences and be affected by metals in different ways. The mode of action of metals on the reductase activity are discussed, but they are still not well known.  相似文献

An experiment was conducted with iron chlorosis affected low-chill peach cultivars such as ‘Shaharanpur Prabhat’, ‘Shan-e-Punjab’, and ‘Pratap’ to examine the recovery upon foliar application of three iron sources namely iron (Fe)-sulfate, Fe-citrate and Fe ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). All the iron sources significantly increased the SPAD meter value, physiologically active (Fe2+) iron and total iron content of the leaves over control. However, highest values were noted with foliar spray of 1.0% Fe-sulfate. The low-chill peach cultivar ‘Saharanpur Prabhat’ responded best with iron resupply treatment. Significant correlations (at P ≤ 0.01) were obtained between SPAD meter readings with both physiologically active iron (Fe2+) and total iron content of leaves in all peach cultivars. Among the sources, the correlations between SPAD meter readings, physiologically active iron (Fe2+) and total iron contents were significant at P ≤ 0.01 for only Fe-sulfate and Fe-citrate. The regression analysis showed that the SPAD meter reading accounted 78.2 to 88.0% variation in physiologically active iron (Fe2+) and 65.0 to 73.7% variation in the total iron content in the low-chill peach cultivars. The SPAD readings could be used for management of iron chlorosis in peach orchard.  相似文献

Identifying cultivars resistant to iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis so prevalent in calcareous soils is a more economical solution than fertilizer application in field crops. The current method of screening for resistance using chlorosis ratings in field trials is time consuming and highly variable. Root Fe reduction successfully separated cultivars or rootstocks, varying widely in resistance, of soybean (Glycine max L.), peach (Prunus persica L.), and grape (Vitis spp.), but was unsuccessful in sub‐clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.). Dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) exhibits Fe deficiency chlorosis in calcareous soils and initiates Fe reduction by the roots in response to such stress. The resistance of 24 dry bean cultivars to Fe deficiency chlorosis was assessed by measuring and summing daily Fe reduction by the roots. The cultivars were grown both hydroponically in an environmental chamber in low Fe solutions (0.05 mg‐L‐1) and at three field sites in both 1995 and 1996. A significant relationship (P<0.01) between field chlorosis scores made 36 days after planting and root Fe reduction summations was observed for all sites in 1995 and 1996 (r = ‐0.42 to ‐0.71). The variability of chlorosis scores among sites, especially in 1996, points out the difficulty of using field chlorosis scores for screening. These results indicate that measurements of root Fe reduction can be used to predict resistance to Fe deficiency chlorosis in dry bean. Successful implementation of this technique should reduce if not eliminate field trials for screening resistance to Fe deficiency chlorosis.  相似文献

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) plants grown under low pressure sodium lamps (LPS) developed chlorosis which was similar in appearance to iron‐stress induced chlorosis, while plants under cool white fluorescent lamps (CWF) at the same level of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) developed normally. These illumination sources differ in spectral irradiance; CWF lamps emit ultra violet (UV), whereas LPS lamps do not. Ultraviolet radiation is capable of reducing Fe3+ to Fe2+ through a chlorotic leaf which may be important in establishing an active iron fraction in the leaf. Root reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ was lacking in Fe‐stressed cotton under LPS light, but was present under CWF light. Net photosynthesis, photosynthetic electron transport, and leaf chlorophyll content were lower under LPS than CWF light in most of the growing media studies (soil or solutions with nitrate‐ or ammonium‐nitrogen supplied). Chloroplast ultrastructure and leaf thickness were also altered by LPS irradiance. Electron microscopic studies with plants grown in nutrient solutions for 4 weeks suggested that chioroplastic granal disorganization was more directly associated with diminished iron supplies than with light source. However, plants grown in soil for 6 weeks under LPS light had granal disorganization similar to that found in iron‐stressed plants. These studies suggest an important role for UV radiation in influencing the activity of iron in plants.  相似文献

Susceptible Trifolium plants often exhibit symptoms of iron (Fe)‐deficiency chlorosis when grown on high pH, calcareous soils. A greenhouse method was developed to screen seedlings for Fe‐deficiency chlorosis. ‘Yuchi’ arrowleaf (T. vesiculosum Savi.) and ‘Dixie’ crimson (I. incarnatum L.) clover seedlings were grown in “Super Cell”; Cone‐tainers in six calcareous Texas soils differing in Fe and selected other chemical characteristics. At the fourth trifoliolate leaf stage, chlorosis was induced by saturating the soil for a minimum of 2 weeks. The soils differed in their capacity to induce chlorosis in both clovers. Yuchi was more susceptible than Dixie, showing a higher percentage of chlorosis in five of the six soils. The results indicate that this screening method would be a useful tool for studying Fe‐deficiency chlorosis in Trifolium spp.  相似文献
