Table 1 Elemental concentrations (mg g⁻¹ DW) in root and shoot of alfalfa cultivated under + Fe and –Fe growth conditions

From: Growth and physiological impairments in Fe-starved alfalfa are associated with the downregulation of Fe and S transporters along with redox imbalance

Elements	Root		Shoot
Elements	+ Fe	−Fe	+ Fe	−Fe
Fe	164 ± 15.2^a	97 ± 16.9^b	85 ± 12.1^a	41 ± 8.9^b
Zn	141 ± 34.0^a	64 ± 13.5^b	64 ± 10.2^a	33 ± 5.9^b
S	14,014 ± 202.2^a	10,613 ± 157.6^b	4567 ± 203.4^a	2145 ± 47.6^b
Ca	834 ± 176.2^a	511 ± 68.3^b	507 ± 48.7^a	497 ± 50.6^a

Data represent means ± SD (n = 3). Different letters indicate significant difference at P < 0.05 level
