A model for Fe uptake and translocation in kiwifruit plants under direct Fe deficiency (-Fe) (a) and bicarbonate-induced Fe deficiency (+Bic) (b) conditions. Red and blue-colored parameters or processes represent positive and negative effects, respectively. Gray-shaded parameters in symplast space represent these parameters not identified in the current study. Parameters not in bold indicate these parameters less affected by -Fe and +Bic stresses. The thicker of the arrow representing Fe uptake and translocation, the higher of Fe amount contained.
