Plant voltage‐gated channels belonging to the Shaker family participate in sustained K+
transport processes at the cell and whole plant levels, such as K+ uptake from the soil …

Potassium (K) is an important plant macronutrient that has various functions throughout the
whole plant over its entire life span. Cytokinins (CKs) are known to regulate macronutrient …

Time‐dependent kinetics of xylem Na+ loading was investigated using a large number of
barley genotypes contrasting in their salinity tolerance. Salt‐sensitive varieties were less …

Essential elements taken up from the soil and distributed throughout the whole plant play
diverse roles in different tissues. Cations and anions contribute to maintenance of …

Agricultural production continues to be constrained by a number of biotic and abiotic factors
that can reduce crop yield quantity and quality. Potassium (K) is an essential nutrient that …

Publisher Summary The involvement of K+ in a number of plant functions (enzyme
activation, maintenance of turgor, protein synthesis), along with the relatively high …

Cloning and characterizations of plant K+ transport systems aside from Arabidopsis have
been increasing over the past decade, favored by the availability of more and more plant …

Nutrient sensing is critical for plant adaptation to the environment. Because of extensive
farming and erosion, low content of mineral nutrients such as potassium (K+) in soils …

The amino acid content increases substantially in salt-stressed plants. The physiological
relevance of this phenomenon remains largely unknown. Using the MIFE ion flux measuring …

Potassium (K+) plays a number of important roles in plant growth and development. Over the
past few years, molecular approaches associated with electrophysiological analyses have …
