The role of iron in plants is as basic as it can get: without iron a plant can’t produce chlorophyll, can’t get oxygen and won’t be green. Support movement of iron in plant. Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light.. Chlorophyll molecules are arranged in and around photosystems that are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

ABSTRACT Iron is an essential micronutrient for almost all living organisms because of it plays critical role in metabolic processes such as DNA synthesis, respiration, and photosynthesis. Effect of Iron Deficiency on Chlorophyll Synthesis 1 2 H. V. Marsh, Jr.3, H. J. Evans4, and G. Matrone North Carolina State College, Raleigh Introduction Since iron deficiency in plants results in severe chlorosis of leaves, it has been assumed by many that iron is an essential cofactor in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll. © 2020 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. 2011). Many scientists believe that iron is an essential activator for enzymes catalyzing reactions involved in chlorophyll synthesis. Most fertilizers contain one or more of the following forms of nitrogen: nitrate, ammonium or urea. Photosynthetica 29: 205-218, Wiktorsson B, Ryberg M and Sundqvist C (1996a) Aggrega-tion of NADPH-protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase-pigment complexes is favored by protein phosphorylation. From glutamate to the tetrapyrrole protoporphyrin IX, at which the pathway branches between chlorophyll and heme, the reactions occur in the plastid stroma and are catalyzed by soluble enzymes.

With either product, rinse the foliage with clear water to remove residues and avoid phytotoxicity. Iron is a constituent of several enzymes and some pigments, and assists in nitrate and sulfate reduction and energy production within the plant. II. Thus, magnesium is an important structural component of chlorophyll molecules.

The present study demonstrates that chlorophyll biosynthesis can be effectively used for identifying iron (Fe) deficiency tolerant cultivars from a large population. It serves as a component of many vital enzymes such as cytochromes of the electron transport chain, and it is thus required for a wide range of biological functions. In these complexes, chlorophyll serves three functions. If the pH of the growing medium is a problem, but less than 0.5 pH unit below the normal range for the plant, alternate fertilizer applications with a potentially basic fertilizer (15-0-15, 14-0-14, 13-2-13, etc.) Photosynth Res 74: 205-215, Schulz R, Steinmuller K, Klaas M, Forreiter C, Rasmussen S, Hiller C and Apel K (1989) Nucleotide sequence of a cDNA coding for the NADPH-protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (PCR) of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and its expression in Escherichia coli.
