Plant Physiology
Iron deficiency is a nutrient deficiency that occurs when plants lack sufficient iron, which is essential for various physiological processes, including chlorophyll synthesis and electron transport in photosynthesis. This deficiency can lead to stunted growth, chlorosis (yellowing of leaves), and reduced crop yields, making it a critical issue in plant physiology and nutrition.
