Abstract
Iron deficiency in plants is reflected in a decreased capability to make chlorophyll, thus resulting in yellowing of the leaves, chlorosis. A characteristic feature of iron deficiency chlorosis is that the leaf tissues bordering the veins remain green. Cells in this region utilise traces of iron arriving from the roots. Chlorosis induced by the action of toxins usually occurs uniformly in all tissues.
