Paradoxically, Fe is very abundant in most soils, mainly in its oxidized form, but is poorly soluble and with low availability for plants. In order to alleviate this situation, plants develop different morphological and physiological Fe-deficiency responses, mainly in their roots, to facilitate Fe mobilization and acquisition. Even so, Fe fertilizers, mainly Fe chelates, are widely used in modern agriculture, causing environmental problems and increasing the costs of production, due to the high prices of these products. One of the most sustainable and promising alternatives to the use of agrochemicals is the better management of the rhizosphere and the beneficial microbial communities presented there. The main objective of this research has been to evaluate the ability of several yeast species, such as Debaryomyces hansenii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Hansenula polymorpha, to induce Fe-deficiency responses in cucumber plants. To date, there are no studies on the roles played by yeasts on the Fe nutrition of plants. Experiments were carried out with cucumber plants grown in a hydroponic growth system. The effects of the three yeast species on some of the most important Fe-deficiency responses developed by dicot (Strategy I) plants, such as enhanced ferric reductase activity and Fe2+ transport, acidification of the rhizosphere, and proliferation of subapical root hairs, were evaluated. The results obtained show the inductive character of the three yeast species, mainly of Debaryomyces hansenii and Hansenula polymorpha, on the Fe-deficiency responses evaluated in this study. This opens a promising line of study on the use of these microorganisms as Fe biofertilizers in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms9122603","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,16]],"date-time":"2021-12-16T21:32:40Z","timestamp":1639690360000},"page":"2603","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Several Yeast Species Induce Iron Deficiency Responses in Cucumber Plants (Cucumis sativus L.)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Carlos","family":"Lucena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy (DAUCO-Mar\u00eda de Maeztu Unit of Excellence), Edificio C-4, Campus de Rabanales CeiA3, Universidad de C\u00f3rdoba, 14071 C\u00f3rdoba, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda T.","family":"Alcal\u00e1-Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Edaphology and Microbiology, Edificio C-6, Campus de Rabanales CeiA3, Universidad de C\u00f3rdoba, 14071 C\u00f3rdoba, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5086-5473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco J.","family":"Romera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy (DAUCO-Mar\u00eda de Maeztu Unit of Excellence), Edificio C-4, Campus de Rabanales CeiA3, Universidad de C\u00f3rdoba, 14071 C\u00f3rdoba, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Edaphology and Microbiology, Edificio C-6, Campus de Rabanales CeiA3, Universidad de C\u00f3rdoba, 14071 C\u00f3rdoba, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Marschner, H.
