Hello,
I am overexpressing a plastial enzyme in tobacco, and recently I saw that the younger leaves of some plants are showing signs of chlorosis (see image).
Although I dont have a lot of experience growing tobacco plants (generally just to infiltrate with Agrobacterium), I am not sure this is a nutrient deficiency.
Any thoughs would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Henrique
Henrique, the plant looks exactly as it has Fe of Mg deficiency. Although, the deficiency itself can be caused by low temperature of soil, or suboptimal pH.
Thank you for your answer Alex. Do you think adding some supplementation to the watering regime could reverse this effect?
Henrique
I hope so.
Sorry for repeated messages, it looks like Android has some problems with ResearchGate.
Fe deficiency. Mg deficiency first appears on older leaves, not on the youngest ones.
