Abstract: | Summary Short-term (10 min) K+ (86Rb) influxes (ϕK
oc
+
), rates of net K+ uptake (ϕK
net
+
) and growth in relation to K+ supply were studied in genetically pure lines of wild oat. The wild oat lines employed in this study showed substantial differences
in these trais. ϕK
oc
+
was higher in the AN lines (AN5 1, AN 474) than CS 40 and SH lines (SH 319, SH 430) in plants grown under both low and high
K+ conditions. Kinetic constants Vmax and Km for ϕK
oc
+
, of selected lines and the rates of change of these constants with root K+ concentration (K+]) showed that ϕK
oc
+
in AN 51 was consistently higher than in CS 40 and SH 319. ϕK
net
+
was also generally higher in AN 51. ϕK
net
+
(at different growth stages), unlike ϕK
oc
+
, failed to correlate with root K+]; ϕK
net
+
values were low during the first two weeks despite lower root K+]. CS 40 showed the highest utilization efficiency, produced the largest amount of biomass, absorbed most K+ and flowered earliest (by day 30). AN 51 had not produced flowers at day 42. |
