Accumulation of IAA in Fe-deficient roots (a) and effects of auxin availability on root branching (b). The tomato plants were grown in nutrient solution that contained (+Fe) or omitted (−Fe) Fe-EDTA. For pharmacological treatment, either 0.1 μM NAA (+Fe+NAA) or 0.1 μM 2,4-D (+Fe+2,4-D) were added to the +Fe solution, and either 5 μM NPA (–Fe+NPA) or 5 μM TIBA (–Fe+TIBA) were added to the –Fe solution. The IAA levels and the lateral roots numbers were analysed on the 6th day of treatment. Data are means ±SD (for IAA concentration, n=6; for lateral root, n=8). Different letters indicate significant differences (P <0.05) between treatments.
