Iron (Fe) deficiency affects plant growth and development, leading to reduction of crop yields and quality. Although the regulation of Fe uptake under Fe deficiency has been well studied in the past decade, the regulatory mechanism of Fe translocation inside the plants remains unknown. Here, we show that a WRKY transcription factor WRKY46 is involved in response to Fe deficiency. Lack of WRKY46...

That lime-induced chlorosis can be alleviated by the application of iron salts has been recognized for a hundred years. As early as 1845, GRIS (8) treated chlorotic plants with iron and obtained positive results; his experiments have been repeatedly confirmed. Opinions differ widely, however, as to the comparative amount and state of iron in chlorotic leaves. Various investigators have presente...

The whiteflies Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Hemiptera Aleyrodidae) are harmful pests of vegetable and ornamental crops in many countries. Also, they are vectors of emergent viruses on tomato including the criniviruses (Closteroviridae genus Crinivirus) Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) and Tomato infectious chlorosis virus (TICV). Since different vectors are involved in the transmi...

Iron chlorosis is common in vineyards grown on calcareous soils, and consists of a chlorophyll deficiency caused by disorder iron nutrition. It manifested interveinal yellowing the youngest leaves decreased growth production. Most Spain are planted so frequent, even tolerant rootstocks. In case Spain, Tempranillo accounts for 20.8% total Spanish wine area, with this red variety being most plant...

Iron deficiency induces several responses to iron shortage in plants. Metabolic changes occur to sustain the increased iron uptake capacity of Fe-deficient plants. We evaluated the metabolic changes of three Prunus rootstocks submitted to iron chlorosis and their different responses for tolerance using measurements of metabolites and enzymatic activities. The more tolerant rootstocks Adesoto (P...

Serratia marcescens NJ01, a Gram-negative bacterium, can infect tomato leaves and cause chlorosis wilting. The present study evaluated the quorum sensing (QS) biofilm inhibitory effects of ...
