Abstract
Excised roots of sorghum cv. M-35 (drought resistant) and M-47 (drought tolerant) were used to study zinc absorption and transport at the cellular level. At applied Zn levels of up to 130 mu M ZnCl2, a biphasic rise in absorption was found with the 2nd rise at 90 mu M. Shoot Zn transport in M-35 was at a slower rate at up to 90 mu M than in M-47. In a 6-h study, the absorption and transport showed a number of changes in phase which ran parallel to each other. Phosphate decreased Zn uptake and transport and Zn likewise affected P uptake and transport. The inhibition of Zn uptake by P was much less in M-35 than in M-47
