the aim of this research was to evaluate the average concentrations of micronutrients including: copper (cu), iron (fe), manganese (mn) and zinc (zn) in the shoots of different cultivars of wheat in stem elongation stage in a soil contaminated with cadmium (cd). the treatments consisted of three levels of cd (0 (as control, cd0), 40 (cd40) and 80 (cd80) mg cd/kg soil) and fourteen different cul...

Thlaspi caerulescens J. & C. Presl is a distinctive metallophyte of central and western Europe that almost invariably hyperaccumulates Zn to > 1.0% of shoot dry biomass in its natural habitats, and can hyperaccumulate Ni to > 0.1% when growing on serpentine soils. Populations from the Ganges region of southern France also have a remarkable ability to accumulate Cd in their shoots to concentrati...

Elevated CO2 (eCO2) increase plant biomass and might lead to nutritional losses. The results showed that eCO2 under Fe-deficiency stimulates root dry weight from 0.37–0.80 g plant?1 shoot 0.82–2.10 plant?1, without compromising root/shoot ratio. Besides, improved the chlorophyl content of Fe-deficient plants. However, downregulation photosynthesis, reduction in stomatal conductance transpiratio...

Background and aims Gibberellins (GAs) are a class of plant hormones with diverse functions. However, there has been little information on the role of GAs in response to plant nutrient deficiency. Methods To evaluate the roles of GAs in regulation of Fe homeostasis, the effects of GA on Fe accumulation and Fe translocation in rice seedlings were investigated using wild-type, a rice mutant ( e...

Cultivated strawberry has been originated from hybridization between Fragaria chiloensis and F. virginiana. The progenitor species exhibit significant genetic diversity. Growth attributes of their responses to several stress factors have studied. However, iron-deficiency tolerance (FeDT) different merely tested under hydroponic conditions. This study evaluated FeDT 23 genotypes belonging super-...
