title: Wild and cultivated barleys show similar affinities for mineral nitrogen.
abstract: The kinetics of net ammonium influx were very similar among several cultivars of barley (Hordeum vulgare) and several accessions of the wild taxa H.v. spontaneum and H. jubatum. For net nitrate influx, variation was greater among accessions than among species; accessions from warmer climates had faster rates than those from colder climates. These data indicate that domestication of barley has not reduced its affinity for mineral nitrogen.
