Influence of ammonium and nitrate salts on the bioelectric potential of oat (Avena sativa L.) leaves

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: The paper concerns the influence of various forms of nitrogen on the bioelectric potential of leaves of oats growing under different light conditions. The measurements performed demonstrated differences in the bioelectric potential of leaves on plants growing on an ammonium or nitrate substrate. On the ammonium substrate the potential is more negative and the differences are wider at higher light intensities. Analyses of potassium and chlorophyll content in the leaves showed no direct correlation between the potential value and potassium content, whereas an increase in chlorophyll content was associated with an eletronegative potential in the leaves.
