Title

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Mild potassium deficiency depressed sucrose translocation.
- Association Potassium presence and light interacted significantly in translocation.
- Observation Correction for differences in sugar specific activity did not abolish the potassium effect at low sugar application.
- Intervention effect Potassium deficiency did not affect translocation when sugar application was high.
- Intervention effect High applied sugar greatly reduced carbon dioxide fixation in controls but not potassium-deficient plants.
- Association Added sugar and potassium deficiency interacted significantly on carbon dioxide fixation.
- Mechanism The authors explain the results with a potassium role in intermediate steps from chloroplast sugar formation to the translocation pool.
