Deficiency of magnesium produces chlorosis due to breakdown of chlorophyll. Chlorosis is a condition in which plant leaf produces insufficient chlorophyll. When this happens, leaves do not have their normal green colour; they fade to a pale green, yellow, or yellow-white.

Question

Accepted Answer

Magnesium. Magnesium is the central atom in chlorophyll, so a deficiency prevents normal chlorophyll synthesis and leads to chlorosis. Without enough chlorophyll, leaves lose their green color and turn pale or yellow.
