Abstract: Potassium is necessary for plant growth and enhancing uptake of potassium is important to improve crop yield. In this study, previous transgenic tobacco transformed with Elymus dahuricus EdHP1 (H+-pyrophosphatase) was used to compare the physiological characteristics between transgenic tobacco and wild type tobacco. The results showed that under starvation of potassium, the content of K+ accumulated in wild-type tobacco was 62.9% of that in transgenic tobacco, and the total root length, total root surface area, and total root volume in wild type tobacco were observably lower than those in transgenic tobacco (P<0.05), with the decrease of 72.9%, 68.1%, and 60.6%, respectively. In addition, in different root systems of fine roots (diameter=0.5–2.0 mm), middle roots (diameter= 2.5–4.0 mm) and coarse roots (diameter>4.5 mm), fine roots were biggest different between transgenic and wild type tobacco which fine roots were 72.9% of those in transgenic tobacco. The activity of root system in transgenic tobacco was 1.2 times as high as that in wild type tobacco. The activity of H+-pyrophosphatase and the content of free IAA in wide-type tobacco were only 46.4% and 66.2% of those in transgenic tobacco respectively. The results of non-destructive ion flux measurement showed that under starvation of potassium the efflux of K+ from wild type tobacco was observably higher than that from transgenic tobacco, but inverse result was found efflux of H+ with similarly total root surface area of transgenic tobacco and wild type tobacco. Two physiological mechanisms containing well-developed root system and higher activity of K+ transporters enhanced uptake of potassium in EdHP1 transgenic tobacco plants.
