Zinc isotope ratios were measured in the top sections of dated ombrotrophic peat cores in
Finland to investigate their potential as proxies for atmospheric sources and to constrain …

The calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) represent a unique family of calcium sensors in
plants. Although extensive studies and remarkable progress have been made in …

Zinc (Zn) hyperaccumulation is a constitutive property of Thlaspi caerulescens, whereas
cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulation varies greatly among different ecotypes. The molecular …

High-affinity K+ uptake has been studied in tomato plants grown under different conditions.
K+ starvation induced a high-affinity K+ uptake with a Km of 10.5±1.1 μM. This system was …

The Arabidopsis monovalent cation: proton antiporter‐1 (CPA1) family includes eight
members, AtNHX1–8. AtNHX1 and AtNHX7/SOS1 have been well characterized as …

The hypersensitive response (HR) involves programmed cell death (PCD) in response to
pathogen infection. To investigate the pathogen resistance signaling pathway, we previously …

Guard cell movement is induced by environmental and hormonal signals that cause
changes in turgor through changes in uptake or release of solutes and water. Several …

Potassium (K+) is an important macronutrient and the most abundant cation in higher plants
which plays a key role in various cellular processes. Its accumulation from soil and its …

Cyclic nucleotide gated channels (CNGCs) that are regulated by calmodulin (CaM) have
been shown to play essential roles in signal transduction, metabolism, and growth in …

Rice is an important food crop, but it is a poor source of essential micronutrients such as iron
and zinc. In order to improve the metal ion content of rice grains through breeding or …
