Iron deficiency response in relation to iron uptake in two cultivars and a local strain ofMentha arvensisL.

  • Published:
Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

The tolerance to iron-deficiency stress and the iron uptake were studied in two Japanese mint(Mentha arvensis L.) cultivars MAS1 and MS77 and their local strain MA2. A considerable reduction of pH of the nutrient medium in MAS1 and MS77 treatments associated with different degree of chlorosis was found. A rapid recovery from chlorosis was found only in MS77 and to some degree in MAS1, but not in the MA2. The results indicated that iron uptake and translocation were inversely related to iron stress tolerance.
