Both stem girdling and the application of auxin transport inhibitors blocked the Fe-deficiency responses. (A) Rhizosphere pH and root Fe (III) reductase activity of M. xiaojinensis in response to stem girdling. (B) Root Fe (III) reductase activity of M. xiaojinensis in response to treatment with –Fe, exogenous IAA +Fe, and NPA –Fe. (C) Expression of MxFRO2 genes in roots of M. xiaojinensis treated with –Fe, exogenous IAA +Fe, and NPA –Fe. Values are means based on at least ten plants; bars represent SD. FW, fresh weight. Means ±SD followed by different letters indicate a statistical difference at P <0.05. Bar=2 cm.
