Potassium ions (K+) are the most abundant cations in plants and are necessary for cell
growth. Arabidopsis shy3-1 mutant plants have a short hypocotyl, small leaves, and a short …

Potassium (K+) is the most abundant cation in plants and is required for plant growth. To
ensure an adequate supply of K+, plants have multiple mechanisms for uptake and …

Because plants grow under many different types of soil and environmental conditions, we
investigated the hypothesis that multiple pathways for K+ uptake exist in plants. We have …

Abstract The HAK/KUP/KT family of potassium (K+) transporters belongs to the amino acid-
polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily of carriers for secondary active transport and …

Four transcripts homologous to K+ transporters of the HAK/KT/KUP family have been
characterized from the common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum). We report …

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 …

Potassium (K+) is one of the essential macronutrients for plant growth and development. K+
uptake from environment and K+ translocation in plants are conducted by K+ channels and …

Regulation of K+/Na+ homeostasis is an important mechanism in plant growth. The high-
affinity K+ uptake system plays a central role in this mechanism especially when plants …

Potassium transporters play an essential role in maintaining cellular ion homeostasis, turgor
pressure, and pH, which are critical for adaptation under salt stress. We identified a salt …

A h igh-affinity K+ t ransporter PutHKT2; 1 cDNA was isolated from the salt-tolerant plant
Puccinellia tenuiflora. Expression of PutHKT2; 1 was induced by both 300 mM NaCl and K+ …
