   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.07 sec.

chlorosis

Abnormal condition of green plants in which the stems and leaves turn pale green or yellow. The yellowing is due to a reduction in the levels of the green chlorophyll pigments. It may be caused by a deficiency in essential elements (such as magnesium, iron, or manganese), a lack of light, genetic factors, or viral infection.
