Resumen:
Iron is an essential and commonly limited nutrient for plants. Because iron is found in two redox forms, ferrous (Fe2+) or ferric (Fe3+), it participates in basic redox reactions required for living organisms. Iron is present in many proteins as heme and [Fe-S] clusters and is involved in basal and secondary metabolism through the regulation of enzymatic activities responsible of DNA synthesis, N fixation and hormone synthesis, among other central processes in cell biology.
