Bare root transplants of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch. cv. ‘Selva’) were transferred to nutrient solutions with or without iron (Fe). After six weeks of growth, plants in the solution without Fe were chlorotic and had morphological changes in roots typical of Fe deficiency. At this point, four treatments were imposed with three replicates (plants) each: plants always grown without Fe (Fe0); always grown with 10 M Fe (Fe10); chlorotic plants with leaves treated with ferrous sulphate every two days (Fe-leaves); chlorotic plants transferred to a solution with ferrous sulphate (Fe-solution). These plants were grown for nine days through which period chlorophyll (Chl) in leaves was estimated with a SPAD-502 apparatus. At the beginning and end of the experiment, root ferric chelate reductase (FC-R; EC 1.16.1.17) activity *Manuscript Click here to view linked References
