Seedlings grown hydroponically under four iron supplies (0, 5, 25, and 150\u2009\u03bcM EDTA\u2013Fe) showed distinct shoot and root phenotypes: iron deficiency caused interveinal chlorosis and strong inhibition of root growth, excess iron induced leaf wrinkling with white spots and reduced root development, whereas low iron had milder effects. Under deficiency, rhizosphere pH decreased and ferric chelate reductase activity increased sharply, supporting activation of a Strategy I\u2010type acquisition system. Shoot and root iron contents declined in deficient and low\u2010iron plants but increased under excess iron, while manganese accumulated mainly in deficient shoots and zinc remained largely unchanged. Iron stress altered multiple hormones and triggered transient increases in superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase activities, consistent with regulated adjustments of the reactive oxygen species homeostasis. Root RNA\u2010seq at two days identified 1822, 436, and 1211 differentially expressed genes under deficiency, low iron, and excess iron, respectively. Enrichment and co\u2010expression analyses highlighted a coordinated induction or repression of iron transporters and regulators, including IRT\u2010 and NRAMP\u2010like uptake components, YSL\u2010 and VTL\u2010like transporters, and transcription factors and hormone\u2010related genes linked to iron and oxidative signaling. Research indicates that pepper plants maintain iron homeostasis by integrating proton extrusion, reduction capacity, metal transport, vacuolar sequestration, and antioxidant defense mechanisms to limit damage under both iron deficiency and excess.\n
