Poster Print : Leaf chlorophyll deficiency
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Leaf chlorophyll deficiency
Leaf chlorophyll deficiency. Healthy leaf (left) and a leaf suffering from chlorosis (right). This is a condition where lack of chlorophyll (a green pigment found in leaves) causes a leaf to turn a pale green or yellow colour. Chlorophyll is needed by plants to produce food. Causes of chlorosis can include mineral deficiency (usually iron), damage to the plants roots, or an alkaline soil. The last two causes prevent or reduce iron uptake from the soil. Iron is not found in chlorophyll, but is essential for its formation. Chlorosis treatment may involve adding nutrients to the plant directly or through the soil

A2 (59.4 x 42cm) Poster Print
Bring the wonders of science into your home or office with Media Storehouse's Poster Prints. This captivating set features an intriguing comparison of a healthy leaf (left) and one affected by chlorosis (right), a condition characterized by the lack of chlorophyll - the green pigment essential for photosynthesis. Observe the striking difference between the vibrant hue of the healthy leaf and the yellowing leaves of the chlorotic one, captured in stunning detail by the expert photographers at Science Photo Library. These high-quality poster prints are not only visually appealing but also serve as an excellent educational tool for science enthusiasts and students. Add this engaging pair to your collection and stimulate curiosity and learning in any environment.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stark contrast between a healthy leaf and one suffering from leaf chlorophyll deficiency, also known as chlorosis. The image captures a pair of leaves side by side, with the left leaf displaying its vibrant green color while the right leaf appears pale green or yellowish. Chlorosis occurs when plants lack sufficient amounts of chlorophyll, the essential green pigment responsible for photosynthesis. Without enough chlorophyll, plants struggle to produce food and maintain their vitality. Several factors can contribute to this condition, including mineral deficiencies such as iron, damage to plant roots, or an alkaline soil environment that hinders iron uptake. The image serves as a visual reminder of how crucial nutrients are for plant health. While iron is not directly present in chlorophyll molecules, it plays a vital role in their formation. To combat chlorosis and restore vigor to affected plants, various treatments may be employed. These include supplementing nutrients either directly into the plant or through enriching the soil. Through this photograph's contrasting display of healthy and deficient foliage, we gain insight into nature's delicate balance and appreciate the intricate interplay between biology and environmental factors. This remarkable capture from Science Photo Library invites us to contemplate both the beauty of our natural world and the importance of nurturing it through proper care and understanding.
