Abstract/Contents:"Kinetic experiments were conducted to examine Mg+2 [28Mg] and K+ [86Rb] absorption by 2-week-old tall fescue (Lolium multiflorum Lam. X Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) seedlings. Magnesium absorption was linear for 180 min and was approximately 3.5 ueq Mg+2 g dry weight-1.h-1 from a 0.0625 mM Mg+2 solution. Shoot accumulation of Mg was reduced by increased solution K+. A curvilinear concentration absorption isotherm for roots was obtained for Mg+2. The resultant hyperbolic Hofstee plot could be separated into two linear components with Km values of 0.833 and 0.0117 mM, suggesting that two systems are operable in Mg+2 absorption. Increased solution pH increased Mg+2 absorption both in the presence and absence of NH+ 4. At pH 6.5 NH+ 4 increased Mg+2 absorption 75%; at pH 3.5 the increase was more than 6-fold. Potassium absorption was linear through 60 min and was decreased by increased Mg2+ levels. Shoot accumulation of [86Rb] was decreased by the first increment of Mg+2, whereas further increases in Mg+2 did not result in significant decreases. In the presence of NH+ 4, K absorption was significantly decreased in the alkaline range. In the absence of NH+ 4, much higher rates of Absorption were observed and less of a reduction was noted at the higher pH values. An important factor limiting the genetic capability of Mg accumulation in tall fescue is solution K concentration. These experiments suggest that future selection of improved tall fescue cultivars should be conducted in the presence of high solution K and with the selection criteria of >= 0.2 % tissue Mg."
