Tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Amberley Cross) were grown in a series of nutrient solutions in which 0, 60, 90, 95, 98 and 99% of the K was replaced by Na. The plants selectively absorbed K relative to Na from the nutrient solutions and transported K to the shoots in preference to Na. In the nutrient solution having the highest K/Na ration most of the Na taken up by the plants accumulated in the roots, but as the K was progressively replaced by Na an increasing proportion of the total Na absorbed was transported to the leaves. Na was present at up to 2.4% of the dry weight of whole, fully-expanded leaves without there being any apparent visual signs of damage or reduction in the rate of growth of the plants. Most of the Na transported to the leaves was excluded from the laminar tissue and accumulated in the adjacent petioles. The ability of the roots and petioles to retain large amounts of Na depended on an adequate supply of K to the plants.
