Lants. Slight increases in pigments were also found in the basal untreated leaf parts (in particular within the case of Chl b), but variations were not statistically substantial at p 0.05. However, the pigment concentrations in the distal part of untreated sugar beet leaves were very related to these within the corresponding basal leaf components. However, the Chl a/Chl b ratio didn’t transform just after the Fe therapy in the distal treated leaf parts, but showed decreases inside the basal part (from 5.1 to 3.two) (Table 4). The (ZA)/(VAZ) ratio decreased markedly within the distal treated leaf element right after the Fe therapy, and also decreased in the untreated basal component, though to a reduced extent. The highest (ZA)/(VAZ) ratio was discovered in chlorotic leaves and also the lowest in green leaves.LOCALIZATION OF IRON LABILE POOLS BY PERLSDAB STAIN IN TRANSVERSAL SECTIONS OF PEACH TREE LEAVES AS Impacted BY IRON FERTILIZATIONThe Chl a/Chl b ratio in the distal treated a part of Fedeficient leaves decreased from 3.7 to three.2 soon after fertilization (Table 3), whereas alterations inside the untreated basal portion weren’t considerable. Changes upon Fe fertilization have been also discovered inside the deepoxidation state in the VAZ cycle, using the proportion of ZA decreasing from 0.40 to 0.24 within the treated distal leaf components. In the untreated basal part of Fefertilized plants the proportion of ZA didn’t change upon fertilization.The PerlsDAB staining system indicates the localization of labile Fe pools using a dark color. In handle, foliar Fefertilized and soil Fefertilized peach tree leaves, labile Fe pools had been located in many of the leaf crosssection, with a lower intensity inside the upper epidermal layer (Figures 5A,C,E, respectively). In Fedeficient along with the basal untreated a part of Fefertilized leaves, some Fe labile pools had been identified in vascular tissues and to a minor extent within the parenchymal places (Figures 5B,D, respectively). Figure 5F shows a unfavorable handle (with out DAB) of a Fedeficient leaf.www.frontiersin.orgJanuary 2014 | Volume 5 | Post two |ElJendoubi et al.Foliar fertilization of Fedeficient leavesTable four | Concentrations of photosynthetic pigments (in mol m2 ; Chl a, Chl b, neoxanthin, lutein, carotene, and VAZ) and Chl a/Chl b and ZA/(VAZ) ratios in basal and distal parts of Fedeficient sugar beet leaves either not fertilized or 7 days soon after the first therapy with two mM FeSO4 and 0.1 surfactant (Fefertilized).
