Leaf chlorophyll and iron (Fe) concentration in IDC tolerant and sensitive soybean plants. (A) chlorophyll (in SPAD units) and (B) Fe concentration in the first trifoliate leaf. Plants were pretreated with 1 or 25 μM Fe(III)-EDDHA for 6 d then treated with 1 or 25 μM Fe(III)-EDDHA and 0, 5, or 15 mM sodium bicarbonate for 4 d. At low Fe supply, Bic treatment resulted in statistically significantly lower leaf chlorophyll (p < 0.05), and the genotypes were significantly different at 15 mM Bic. At both Fe levels, addition of Bic resulted in statistically significantly lower leaf Fe concentration (p < 0.05), but there were no differences between genotypes.
