Potassium uptake by tap and lateral root of different aged faba bean plants (Vida faba L.) was investigated by rubidium (86Rb) tagging. The time course of K uptake was near linear (R2 = 0.97 - 0.99) for the period between 5 min to 60 min of incubation. Potassium uptake was close to linearity in 0.01 mM to 0.1 mM range of external K. At higher concentrations i.e., from 0.01 mM to 10 mM uptake rates tended to decline. Uptake of K by tap roots was higher than that by an equivalent mass of lateral roots. The addition of NaCI (0.01-10 mM) to the uptake medium, reduced the K uptake by the laterals, but only at the higher KCI concentrations. The interactions between K and Na in tap roots seem to differ from those in the laterals. Potassium uptake by the apical 2 cm segment was higher than that of the older segments
