Caesium (Cs+) is a potentially toxic mineral element that is released into the environment
and taken up by plants. Although Cs+ is chemically similar to potassium (K+), and much is …

The high‐affinity K+ transporter AtHAK5 and the inward‐rectifier K+ channel AtAKT1 have
been described to contribute to K+ uptake in Arabidopsis thaliana. Studies with T‐DNA …

ABSTRACT K+ uptake in the high-affinity range of concentrations and its components have
been widely studied. In Arabidposis thaliana, the AtHAK5 transporter and the AtAKT1 …

Potassium (K+) is a major plant nutrient required for growth and development. It is generally
accepted that plant roots absorb K+ through uptake systems operating at low concentrations …

Potassium (K+) is an essential macronutrient required for plant growth, development and
high yield production of crops. Members of group I of the KT/HAK/KUP family of transporters …

The high-affinity K+ transporter HAK5 is the major contributor to root K+ uptake from dilute
solutions in K+-starved Arabidopsis plants. Its functionality is tightly regulated and its activity …

Plant roots contain both high-and low-affinity transport systems for uptake of K+ from the soil.
In this study, we characterize a K+ transporter that functions in both high-and low-affinity …

The relative contribution of the high‐affinity K+ transporter AtHAK5 and the inward rectifier
K+ channel AtAKT1 to K+ uptake in the high‐affinity range of concentrations was studied in …

Potassium is an important macronutrient and the most abundant cation in plants. Because
soil mineral conditions can vary, plants must be able to adjust to different nutrient …

Root cells take up K+ from the soil solution, and a fraction of the absorbed K+ is translocated
to the shoot after being loaded into xylem vessels. K+ uptake and translocation are spatially …
