Abstract The influx of K+ into excised roots of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) previously grown with or without K+ was measured in K+ solutions ranging in concentration from 0.01 to 50 mM. In both species the K+ influx was lower in the roots with high K+ content. The extent of reduction by high internal [K+] decreased with external concentration above 1 mM. These results support the contention that at high external concentrations passive diffusion makes significant contributions to observed fluxes.
