Young maize plants, grown hydroponically, were supplied with 1/10 the optimal amount of iron (0.75 mg dm/-3). Foliar treatments with solutions, containing N6-benzyladenine (BA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or (2-chloroethyl)-trimethylammoniumchloride (CCC) were conducted after chlorosis had been well manifested. Changes in growth, chlorophyll content, rate of photosynthesis, catalase and peroxidase activities in leaves, and the contents of Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, and P in leaves were recorded. Growth regulators improved (CCC, IAA) or aggravated (BA) the physiological state of chlorotic plants. Their effect might be explained by changes in Fe transport towards the leaves, by increased effciency of Fe utilization, and by effects on plant metabolism not involving Fe.
