In the present investigation, iron content changes in root and shoot tissues of six rice genotypes (Govind, Super, HKR120, Pusa1121, HBC19 and Palman579) differing in grain iron concentration (35- 400 ?g/g) were studied in response to varied iron concentrations at vegetative and reproductive stages. Plants were grown in pots in the net house and treated twice with Yoshida solution containing different iron concentrations (0, 0.1 mM, 0.5 mM EDTA-Fe II). Fe content in roots, shoots and grains increased with increase in Fe concentration. Roots of HBC19 and Palman579 contained higher iron while the per centage increase in iron uptake was higher in roots of Govind and Super. Lower and upper shoots of PUSA1121 showed highest iron. Highest iron in dehusked grains was recorded in Palman579 followed by HBC19, PUSA1121, HKR120, Super and Govind. Thus, with increase iron in medium the iron content was consistently increase in all tissues and soil but the per cent increase depends on genotypic variation.
