The effect of shoot-root ratio and temperature on K+ influx in rye

The temperature sensitivity of K⁺ influx into rye roots and root plasma membrane ATPase activity were compared in plants grown at different temperatures. It was shown that ATPase activity obeyed the Arrhenius relationship with temperature, whereas K⁺ influx into intact plants was linearly related to...

Zusammenfassung:The temperature sensitivity of K⁺ influx into rye roots and root plasma membrane ATPase activity were compared in plants grown at different temperatures. It was shown that ATPase activity obeyed the Arrhenius relationship with temperature, whereas K⁺ influx into intact plants was linearly related to temperature and markedly influenced by shoot/root ratio. A model for acclimation of K⁺ influx to low temperatures based on the regulation of the K⁺ carrier mechanism by plant 'demand' for K⁺ is described.
