Effect of Iron on the Transport of Citrate into the Xylem of Soybeans and Tomatoes

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Iron transport in soybeans (Glycine max [L] Merr.) and tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum) is controlled by factors that are altered manyfold as the plant experiences an iron stress (deficiency). Depending on their response to an Fe stress, plants in this study are classed (a) Fe-inefficient or (b) Fe-efficient. The Fe-efficient plants transport more Fe and concomitantly more citrate than the Fe-inefficient plants.
