Leaf SPAD index values and root FeIII-chelate reductase activity
Sample | SPAD indexa | FeIII-chelate reductase (mol g-1 root FW h-1)b |
---|---|---|
Fe-sufficient | 29.5 ± 0.3 | 0.37 ± 0.04 |
Fe-deficient | 16.8 ± 0.6 | 1.41 ± 0.06 |
aSPAD index value of fully expanded young leaves was determined using a SPAD-502 meter (Minolta, Osaka, Japan); mean and SD using data of the three biological replicates.
bMean and SD of three biological replicates.
