Other claims from this paper (7)

Intervention effect Fe deficiency induced 18-fold higher root Fe(III) reductase activity than in Fe-sufficient plants.
Intervention effect Root exudation of citric acid increased in Fe-deficient plants relative to +Fe plants.
Intervention effect A 2-week Pb (20 μM) treatment did not influence root and shoot growth.
Intervention effect Iron-sufficient plants accumulated more Pb in leaves than Fe-deficient plants.
Intervention effect Two weeks of Pb exposure significantly decreased Fe(III) reductase activity in the roots of Fe-deficient plants.
Intervention effect Two weeks of Pb exposure significantly decreased accumulation of Fe, Zn and Mn in the roots of Fe-deficient plants.
Mechanism The authors hypothesize that root exposure to Pb for 2 weeks blocks the functioning of a specific Fe transport system activated under Fe deficiency.
