Abstract excerpt
To investigate K absorption and transport mechanisms by which pear rootstock genotypes respond to low-K stress, seedlings of a potassium-efficient pear rootstock, Pyrus ussuriensis, and a potassium-sensitive rootstock, Pyrus betulifolia, were supplied with different K concentrations in solution culture. Significant differences in the absorption rate, Vmax and Km between the genotypes indicate that P. ussuriensis...
