Iron participates in various crucial metabolic processes as an essential cofactor of many enzymes, which are vital to the survival of plants and their pathogens. However, excessive iron is toxic to the cells of plants and pathogens. Iron plays a complex role in the interactions between plants and pathogens. Plants and pathogens have …

Iron plays a significant role in various physiological and ... Effects of Iron on Plant Growth Iron is the third most limiting nutrient for plant growth and metabolism, primarily due to the low ...

Here, the present review emphasizes on the role of signalling molecules particularly phytohormones and nitric oxide and their interactive co-ordination in iron …

Missing or inadequate supplies of nutrients adversely affect plant growth, leading to stunted growth, slow growth, chlorosis, or cell death. About half the essential nutrients are micronutrients such as boron, chlorine, manganese, iron, zinc, copper, molybdenum, nickel, silicon, and sodium. ... Sulfur also plays a role in photosynthesis as …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. Fe availability affects crops' productivity and the quality of their derived products and thus human nutrition. Fe is poorly available for plant use since it is mostly present in soils in the form of insoluble oxides/hydroxides, especially at neutral to alkaline pH. How plants …

Plant Growth Regulation. Article. Iron transport and homeostasis in plants: current updates and applications for improving human nutrition values and sustainable agriculture. Review. Published: …

The present review discusses iron toxicity in plants with regard to plant growth and metabolism, metal interaction, iron-acquisition mechanisms, biofortification of iron, plant-iron homeostasis, gene function in crop improvement, and micronutrient interactions. Iron is an essential micronutrient for almost all living organisms because of …

Iron plays a crucial role in the growth and development of plants. Without sufficient iron, plants cannot perform essential functions that are necessary for their survival. In this section, we will explore the importance of iron for plant growth and understand its various roles in supporting plant health and vitality.

Apply the manure: Spread a layer of well-aged manure evenly over the soil surface. Aim for a thickness of about 1 to 2 inches. Avoid direct contact with plant stems or trunks, as this can cause burning or rotting. Mix it in: Use a garden fork or tiller to gently incorporate the manure into the top few inches of soil.

By providing chelated iron, plants can maintain optimal chlorophyll levels, promoting healthy growth, and maximizing their ability to convert sunlight into energy. Improved Nutrient Uptake: Adequate iron levels in plants also play a role in the uptake and utilization of other essential nutrients.

Iron limitation severely affects plant growth and iron is often a component of agricultural fertilisers used to improve crop yields. Although iron is abundant in the …

Abstract. Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient that affects the growth and development of plants because it participates as a cofactor in numerous physiological …

Iron is an essential element for plant growth and development, as major biochemical processes are highly dependent on the biological availability of iron in plants (Wu and Li, 2022). Iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) are common metal NMs, which can improve the agronomic properties of crops and affect plant development ( Cao et al., 2022 ).

The remain-ing 13 essential elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, po-tassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc, man-ganese, copper, boron, molybdenum, and chlorine) are supplied either from soil minerals and soil organic matter or by organic or inorganic fertilizers. For plants to utilize these nutrients efficiently, light, heat, and water must ...
