Question
The plants grown in magnesium deficient but urea sprayed soil would show
Options
A.geepgreen foliage
B.early flowering
C.yellowing of leaves
D.loss of pigments in petals
Solution
Nitrogen is the constituent of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, nucleotides, coenzymes, hexosamines etc. Deficiency of nitrogen rapidly inhibits the plant growth and yelloeing of the leave (chlorosis) magnesium has the specific rolee in the activation of enzymes, taking part in photosynthesis and respiration. It also forms a part of the ring structure of the chlorophyll molecule. deficiency of Mg causes chlorosis ie, yellowing of leaves.
Thus a plant growing in magnesium - defiient soil would show chlorosis inspite of being spryed with urea (nitrogen).
