Fig. 2. (a-d) Shoot and root biomass and root/shoot ratio of Hordeum vulgare grown in nutrient solution and in soil culture on a calcareous Loess subsoil, depending on plant age, Fe supply, and atmospheric CO2 concentration. Bars represent means and standard errors. Different letters indicate significant differences at the P < 0.05 level between treatments for each single harvest time

Fig. 3. (a-c) Fe-nutritional status and leaf chlorophyll levels (SPAD values) of soil-grown barley plants at 28 days after sowing (DAS), depending on Fe supply and atmospheric CO2 concentration. Bars represent means and standard errors. Different letters indicate significant differences at the P < 0.05 level. The dashed line symbolizes the average Fe concentration sufficient for average plant growth (Marschner, 1995).

Fig. 4. Phytosiderophore exudation in 0.5 to 2.5 cm apical root zones of barley plants grown in nutrient solution, depending on plant age, Fe supply, and atmospheric CO2 concentration. Bars represent means and standard errors. Different letters indicate significant differences at the P < 0.05 level between treatments for each single harvest time.
