Abstract: | Preferential absorption of potassium over sodium has been observedwith excised radish roots using a wide range of concentrationsin the bathing medium. This result is contrary to the situationobserved in most other plants which have been investigated,where it is found that at high external concentrations (>1·0mM) the uptake of potassium is less specific and the rate ofsodium absorption exceeds that of potassium. In radish rootscalcium does not interact with the monovalent cation absorptionin the higher range of concentration and the sodium absorptionis not sensitive to chloride-sulphate substitution. These resultsare discussed in relation to salinity-tolerance and potassium:sodiuminteractions. |
