The objective of this study was to synthesize iron (hydr)oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) stabilized by humic substances, and to estimate the feasibility of their use for foliar application on iron deficient plants. The IONPs were synthesized by rapid hydrolysis of iron(III) nitrate in a solution of potassium humate. The iron speciation and nanoparticle morphologies were characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The obtained sample of IONPs was applied at concentrations of 1- and 10-mM Fe, and 0.2% urea was used as an adjuvant. Wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L. cv. L15) were used for the iron uptake test. For both of the concentrations tested, spraying the nanoparticles resulted in a 70–75% higher iron content in wheat leaves compared to ferric ammonium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Fe-EDTA). The synergistic effect of humic substances acting as a surfactant seemed to promote an increase in the iron uptake of the ferrihydrite nanoparticles compared to the aqueous Fe-EDTA solution used in this study. We concluded that humic-stabilized IONPs are much better suited to foliar application as compared to soil amendment when applied as a source of iron for plants. This is because humic substances act as a capping agent for nanoparticles and the surfactants enhance iron penetration into the leaf.

In this study, the effects were investigated of salinity, foliar and soil applications of humic substances on the growth and mineral nutrients uptake of Corn (Hagein, Fardy10), and the comparison was carried out of the soil and foliar applications of humic acid treatments at different NaCl levels. Soil organic contents are one of the most important parts that they directly affect the soil fertility and textures with their complex and heterogenous structures although they occupy a minor percentage of the soil weight. Humic acids are an important soil component that can improve nutrient availability and impact on other important chemical, biological, and physical properties of soils. The effects of foliar and soil applications of humic substances on the plant growth and some nutrient elements uptake of Corn (Hagein, Fardy10) grown at various salt concentrations were examined. Sodium chloride was added to the soil to obtain 20 and 60mM saline conditions. Solid humus was applied to the soil one month before planting and liquid humic acids were sprayed on the leaves twice on 20<sup>th</sup> and 40<sup>th</sup> day after seedling emergence. The application doses of solid humus were 0, 2 and 4 g/kg and those of liquid humic acids were 0, 0.1 and 0.2%. Salinity negatively affected the growth of corn; it also decreased the dry weight and the uptake of nutrient elements except for Na and Mn. Soil application of humus increased the N uptake of corn while foliar application of humic acids increased the uptake of P, K, Mg,Na,Cu and Zn. Although the effect of interaction between salt and soil humus application was found statistically significant, the interaction effect between salt and foliar humic acids treatment was not found significant. Under salt stress, the first doses of both soil and foliar application of humic substances increased the uptake of nutrients.

A variety of phenolic compounds and hydroxamic acids reduced or prevented phenolic acid and coproporphyrin accumulation by iron-deficient cultures of Bacillus subtilis, but only if they were added to cultures with levels of iron which alone did not prevent accumulation. The compounds also increased iron uptake by iron-deficient cultures and norma) cultures. When radioactive catechol or 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid was used to increase iron uptake by iron-deficient cells, only very low levels of radioactivity remained associated with the cells. It is suggested that B. subtilis produces phenolic acids to solubilize iron; that other phenolic compounds or hydroxamic acids may substitute for the phenolic acids produced by B. subtilis; that the iron: phenolic acid complex does not enter the cell; and that the iron is removed from the complex at the cell surface and taken into the cell by an energy-dependent active transport system.

Wheat cultivars were grown as soil culture under normal growth conditions. Twoweek- old seedlings were exposed to 4°C for 6 h and then transferred to −12°C for 24 h in the dark. Twenty-four hours before freezing stress, some of the plants were sprayed with aqueous solutions of spermine, spermidine, putrescine, 1,3-diaminopropane (1,3-DAP) and diethylenetriamine (DETA). The data showed that freezing stress caused a decrease in the fresh weight, chlorophyll content and plant survival rate, accompanied by a simultaneous accumulation of free proline and the enhanced leakage of electrolytes. Preliminary treatment with polyamines caused a decline in electrolyte leakage and a considerable augmentation in proline quantity, indicating that the compounds are capable of preventing frost injury. Additionally, the foliar application of polyamines retarded the destruction of chlorophyll, and lessened fresh weight losses due to freezing stress. The synthetic triamine DETA was the most effective, having the most pronounced action in all the experiments, followed by the tetraamine spermine. The application of polyamines to wheat crops could be a promising approach for improving plant growth under unfavourable growth conditions, including freezing temperatures. The results demonstrate that treatment with polyamines could protect winter wheat by reducing the stress injuries caused by subzero temperatures.

Aim: To determine the impact of soil and foliar application of ZnSO4.7H2O at late stages of wheat as heading initiation (5% ear formation), 100% heading (complete ear formation) and heading initiation and 100% heading along with recommended dose of fertilizer on growth, yield and quality of zero till wheat. Methodology: The field experiment was conducted on zero till wheat. The treatments consisted of control (no Zn), soil application of 12.5, 25, 37.5, 50 kg ha-1 ZnSO4.7H2O and foliar application of 0.5% Zn as one spray at heading initiation (5% ear formation), one spray at 100% heading (complete ear formation) and two sprays at heading initiation and 100% heading with recommended dose of fertilizer. These treatments were evaluated in RBD with three replications. Results: Soil application of 50, 37.5 and 25 kg Zn ha-1 with two foliar sprays of 0.5% at heading initiation (5% ear formation) and 100% heading (complete ear formation) stages gave significantly higher average grain and straw yield and Zn concentration in grain than other treatments, including control. Interpretation: Enhanced application of Zn as soil and foliar application ameliorates soil Zn deficiency and increases protein content in grains, which might influence the quality and yield of zero tilled wheat.

Abstract The influence on the water relations of the third developing leaf of (2-chloroethyl)trimethylammoniumchloride, a synthetic growth regulator, applied to the roots of young wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L.) has been investigated. The tissue water potential and the pressure potential were found to be reduced by several bars in comparison to the untreated controls, whereas the osmotic potential remained unchanged. The content of soluble reducing sugars was considerably increased in the cell sap of CCC-treated leaves. With this accumulation, however, the turgor was not maintained. Additionally, CCC-treated leaves showed considerably lower transpiration rates and higher diffusive resistance than the controls. Thus, the application of CCC to the roots causes alterations in the water relations of developing wheat leaves, which resemble those induced by water deficiency.

Cellular Iron Uptake

Regular “mucosal block” is characterized by decreased uptake of a normal iron load 3–72 h after the administration of excess iron (generally 10 mg) to iron-deficient animals. We found that short-acting mucosal block could be induced by much lower iron concentration and much shorter induction time than previously reported, without affecting levels of gene expression. A rapid endocytic mechanism was reported to decrease intestinal iron absorption after a high iron load, but the activating iron load and the time to decreased absorption were undetermined. We assessed the effects of 30–2,000 μg iron load on iron uptake in the duodenal loop of iron-deficient and iron-sufficient rats under anesthesia. One hour later, mucosal cellular iron uptake in iron-deficient rats administered 30 μg iron was 76.1%, decreasing 25% to 50.7% in rats administered 2,000 μg iron. In contrast, iron uptake by iron-sufficient rats was 63% (range 60.3–65.5%) regardless of iron load. Duodenal mucosal iron concentration was significantly lower in iron-deficient than in iron-sufficient rats. Iron levels in portal blood were consistently higher in iron-deficient rats regardless of iron load, in contrast to the decreased iron uptake on the luminal side. Iron loading blocked mucosal uptake of marginally excess iron (1,000 μg), with a greater effect at 15 min than at 30 min. The rapid induction of short-acting mucosal block only in iron-deficient rats suggests DMT1 internalization.
