abstract a hydroponics experiment was conducted to compare effect of fe-deficiency on concentration, uptake, translocation of fe, zn, mn in some plants. a completely randomized block design in triplicates was conducted in research greenhouse. seven plants with different fe-efficiency contained two bread wheat genotypes (triticum aestivium l. cvs. backcross roshan and qods), triticale (x. tritic...

Iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis (IDC) leads to leaf yellowing, stunted growth and drastic yield losses. Plants have been differentiated into 'Fe-efficient' (EF) if they resist to IDC and 'Fe-inefficient' (IN) if they do not, but the reasons for this contrasting efficiency remain elusive. We grew EF and IN soybean plants under Fe deficient and Fe sufficient conditions and evaluated if gene expres...

An in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell model was applied to explore the impact of lactic acid (LA) fermentation by Lactobacillus pentosus FSC1 and Leuconostoc mesenteroides FSC2 on the Fe bioavailability of carrot juice. The redox state of Fe in fermented carrot juice was also assessed as a crucial factor for absorption. LA fermentation was shown to improve mineral solubility to different extents at...

Polymeric phosphate aluminum-ferric chloride (PPAFC) in this study was prepared. In order to obtain the optimum conditions for preparation of PPAFC, resulting in a better turbidity removal efficiency, parameters such as the molar ratio of Al/Fe, P/(Al+Fe), OH/(Al+Fe) as well as the reaction temperature were examined. Results showed that the optimal synthetic conditions were Al/Fe of 6:4, P/(Al+...

Roots of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum cv Bintje) growing on low Fe nutrient solution developed the characteristic Fe efficiency reactions, such as high ferric reductase activity, proton extrusion and increased root hair formation. Roots from a tuber with sprout removed, when grown on Fe-free nutrient solution, also expressed these reactions; transfer to iron-containing medium resulted in th...

;Fe-efficiency reactions' are induced in the roots of dicotyledonous plants as a response to Fe deficiency. The role of phloem Fe in the regulation of these reactions was investigated. Iron travels in the phloem of Ricinus communis L. as a complex with an estimated molecular weight of 2400, as determined by gel exclusion chromatography. The complex is predominantly in the ferric form, but becau...

Fe (III)-catalyzed ozonation yielded better degradation rate and extent of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) or oxalic acid as compared with oxidation by ozone alone. Two parameters with strong effects on the efficiency of ozonation are pH of the solution and the catalyst (Fe(3+)) dosage. The existence of a critical pH value determining the catalysis of Fe (III) in acid conditions was observed in ph...
