The effects of different iron and phosphorus treatments on the formation and morphology of iron plaque in rice roots (Oryza sativa L).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a pivotal cereal crop worldwide. It relies heavily on the presence of iron plaque on its root surfaces for optimal growth and enhanced stress resistance across diverse environmental conditions.

Method

To study the crystallographic aspects of iron plaque formation on rice roots, the concentrations of Fe²⁺ and PO₄ ^3- were controlled in this study. The effects of these treatments were assessed through comprehensive analyzes encompassing root growth status, root surface iron concentration, root vitality, enzyme activities, and microstructural characteristics using advanced techniques such as root analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ultrathin section transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
