Copper (Cu) deficiency of Cucumis melo stimulates iron (Fe) uptake and rescues the fefe phenotype. (a) Photograph of fefe plants grown without Cu (left) and on complete nutrient solution (right). (b) Root ferric-chelate reductase activity (± SD) after transferring rescued fefe plants to -Fe-Cu or -Fe+Cu solution for 3 d. (c–e) Stacked bar graphs of (c) dry weight (DW), (d) Cu content, and (e) Fe content of plant parts for fefe and wild type (WT) plants (± SE) grown with or without Cu. Significant difference between +Cu and -Cu treatments: *, P<0.05.
