Preface
Iron is a major constituent of the earth crust. However, under alkaline
conditions commonly found in arid and semi-arid environments iron becomes
unavailable to plants. When plants are affected by a shortage of iron their leaves
become yellow (chlorotic), and both plant growth and crop yield are reduced. The
roots of plants affected by iron deficiency may develop a series of responses
directed to improve iron uptake, such as increased proton excretion and iron
reduction capabilities or excretion of iron chela tors called siderophores.
Iron deficiency affects major crops worldwide, including some of major
economic importance such as fruit trees and others. Correction of iron deficiency
is usually implemented through costly application of synthetic chelates. Since
these correction methods are very expensive, the competitivity of farmers is
often reduced and iron deficiency may become a limiting factor for the
maintenance, introduction or expansion of some crops.
In spite of the many years devoted to the study of iron deficiency, the
knowledge of iron deficiency in soils and plants is still fragmentary in many
aspects. We have only incomplete information on the processes at the molecular
level that make some plant species and cultivars unable to take and utilize iron
from the soil, whereas other plants grow satisfactorily under the same conditions.
Given the complexity of the iron path from the soil constituents to the leaves of
the plants, that involves a large number of different steps, it is obvious that an
interdisciplinary effort will be needed to understand the whole process.
This book contains selected papers from the more than 130 scientific
contributions presented at the 7th International Symposium on Iron Nutrition
and Interactions held in Zaragoza, Spain, in the summer of 1993. The aim of the
Symposium Organizing Committee was to summarize the existing knowledge
and stimulate research in iron deficiency. A number of relevant plant and soil
researchers were invited to produce reviews in their respective fields, and a few
researchers working in areas not directly related to iron deficiency in plants were
also invited to produce additional reviews that may be of interest to the plant and
soil community. The book contains 12 of these invited contributions as well as 42
original research papers reflecting the interdisciplinary approach of the
Symposium. We believe that the information contained in this book provides a
solid basis to forthcoming studies in this area.
The Symposium was successful in allowing a free exchange of ideas among
attending researchers and has already resulted in fruitful scientific cooperations.
We hope that the publication of this book may further contribute to the
understanding of the processes related to iron in soils and plants, and provide
insights to the technical solutions growers demand for correction of iron
chlorosis in crops.
We thank all the authors that submitted their scientific reports, as well as
the many referees that have contributed to the quality of the final papers through
their corrections and constructive suggestions. We also thank the support of the
Spanish High Council for Scientific Research that made possible the celebration
of the Symposium.
