Abstract
Two inbreds of Zea mays, tolerant to K^+ deficiency and control, were grown in the presence of different concentrations of K^+. Several parameters were compared between the two inbreds and characteristic differences in terms of K^+ utilization were observed. 1. The dry weight of both inbreds was nearly the same in the presence of a sufficient concentration of K^+, but was apparently higher in the tolerant inbred than the control inbred according to the decreasing amount of K^+ supply. 2. Symptoms of K^+ deficiency in the tolerant inbred appeared only with complete absence of K^+, but those in the control inbred could be observed even at a decreased level of K^+ supply. 3. The increased length of the main root and top to root ratio in the control inbred were conspicuously lower than those of the tolerant inbred due to K^+ deficiency. Furthermore, the amout of lateral roots of the cotrol inbred was approximately one-half to one-fourth of that of the tolerant inbred. 4. The capability of K^+ absorption by the roots treated for K^+ deficiency was higher in the tolerant inbred than in the controel inbred. The difference in the capability became larger when assayed with decreasing concentrations of K^+. 5. K^+-dependent H^+ extrusion from roots treated for K^+ deficiency was larger in the tolerant inbred than in the control inbred.
