Phosphate absorption by white clover stolons in pasture

Abstract
Uptake of 32p by Trifolium repens L. ‘Grasslands Huia’ stolons from felt pads saturated with labelled P solutiOn was measured in the field. Distribution of activity along sto~ons was heavIly bIased towards the stolon tIp rather than to the basal side of the point of supply, and concentrations of activity were associated with active lateral menstems. ThIS was taken as evidence that white clover could absorb P through its stolons from P solutions over the concentration range 10μM to 1.0 M.
