Abstract:In perennial woody plants, dormancy-induced alteration of potassium (K) localization is assumed one of the mechanisms for adapting and surviving the severe winter environment. To establish if radio-cesium (137 Cs) localization is also affected by dormancy initiation, the artificial annual environmental cycle was applied to the model tree poplar. Under the short day-length condition, the amount of 137 Cs in shoots absorbed through the roots was drastically suppressed, but the amount of 42 K was unchanged. Potas… Show more
