Article Abstract
In order to find new greener solutions for iron (Fe) induced chlorosis, two new chelating agents, N,N-dihydroxy-N,N'-diisopropylhexanediamide (DPH) and Azotochelin (AZO), were assessed for its effectiveness in mending induced chlorosis in soybean (Glycine max). DPH-Fe and AZO-Fe complexes were firstly tested for their soil interactions and capability to maintain Fe in a bioavailable form. Secondly, Fe-chelates of DPH and AZO were applied to the soil in a pot experiment with chlorotic soybean plants. Their growth, SPAD chlorophyll index, and the Fe concentration in plant tissues and the remaining soil were evaluated. An isotope deconvolution analysis by using the concentration of the Fe isotopes was used to distinguish the Fe coming from soil and from the Fe labelled fertilizer treatments. AZO and DPH have shown different interactions with soil and its components, with AZO showing less interaction than DPH. The application of AZO and DPH resulted in SPAD increase and Fe content. However, it was found that the Fe in plants had not come from the fertilizer application, but instead from natural sources. This is likely due to dissolution phenomena aided by the chelates added. Overall, AZO and DPH have shown good results in amending Fe induced chlorosis in calcareous soils and for this reason should be regarded as good green-candidates for Fe plant nutrition in calcareous soils.
Serum calcium and phosphorus levels are tightly regulated by the calciotropic hormone parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23 and 1,25(OH) vitamin D. Commonly prescribed therapies for iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) such as ferric carboxymaltose and ferric derisomaltose (FDM) have been shown to disrupt phosphorus homeostasis, resulting in hypophosphataemia. Similarly, denosumab use can result in hypocalcaemia due to the inhibition of osteoclastic maturation, activity and survival.
The widespread presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and toxic heavy metals in soils is having harmful effects on food crops and the environment. However, the defense mechanisms and capacity of plants to counteract these substances have not been comprehensively explored, necessitating a systematic categorization of their inhibitory effects. Accordingly, an experimental investigation was conducted to examine the growth and physiological response of maize ( L.
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are evolutionarily conserved in both plants and animals and play critical roles in activating innate immunity to defend against various pathogens. However, the role of MAPK cascades in positively regulating or enhancing viral infections in plants is unclear. In this study, we investigate the involvement of MAPK cascades in infection by the positive-strand RNA virus tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV).
Potassium (K) deficiency in plants can lead to metabolic disorders and growth retardation. Currently, nearly 50% of the arable land in China is experiencing a K resource deficit, significantly hindering the development of the apple industry. Resveratrol (Res), a phytoalexin, has been extensively reported to enhance plant resistance against various abiotic stresses.
