Abstract Iron is an essential element for plants as well as all living organisms, functioning in various physiological and
biochemical processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, DNA synthesis, and N2 fixation. In the soil, Fe bioavailability is extremely low, especially under aerobic conditions and at high pH ranges. In contrast, plants with
nodules on their roots that fix atmospheric nitrogen need much more iron. To highlight the physiological traits
underlying the tolerance of N2-fixing common bean to iron deficiency, two genotypes were hydroponically cultivated in a greenhouse: Coco nain (CN) and Coco blanc (CB). Plants were inoculated with… More >
