Effects of low temperature on K⁺ nutrition of some barley (Hordeum vulgare. L) varieties

The main objective of the present study was to investigate the capacity to compensate for reduced root activity caused by low temperature. Potassium influx, net flux and tissue K⁺ content in 23 spring and 2 winter barley varieties grown at low (5°C) and high (15°C) root temperatures were studied. It...
