Abstract
Plant productivity and crop quality depend on the properties of a variety, as well as on the agroecological conditions. The knowledge of differences among varieties regarding the influx of nutrients and molecular basis of the genetic dependence provides a goal-seeking rationalization of grain crops and food production. In general, it is supposed that the molecular mechanism of genetic heterogeneity of the nutrient influx is caused by differences occurring in the polygene structure, which is responsible for the synthesis of proteins—enzymes and mainly for the transport ATP-ases4,5,10. In this connection we have studied the influx, efflux and accumulation of phosphate, as well as the phosphatase activity of the roots of different lines and hybrids of maize (Zea mays).
