“…The pH values obtained for the young plants of barley are in agreement with the results given by other authors (see review of DRAWERT 1955), Thus KEYSSNER (1931) obtained pH 6.0-6.2 in barley using chinhydrone electrode. But the rise of pH to the alkaline area during the senescence which was found in barley, is directly of opposite character with the findings in wheat (HURD 1924).…”
