In plants, the HAK (high-affinity K+)/KUP (K+ uptake)/KT (K+ transporter) family represents a
large group of potassium transporters that play important roles in plant growth and …

In higher plants, heavy metal transporters are responsible for metal uptake, translocation
and homeostasis. These metals include essential metals such as zinc (Zn) or manganese …

Metal tolerance proteins (MTPs) belong to the cation diffusion facilitator family (CDF) and
have been implicated in metal transport and homeostasis in different plant species. Here we …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic constraints to agriculture. The physiological and
molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance have been studied in plants for many years. The …

Sedum alfredii Hance is a zinc (Zn)/cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator plant. However, the
molecular mechanism of the Zn/Cd uptake of roots and shoots has not been thoroughly …

Cyclic nucleotide gated channels (CNGCs) play multifaceted roles in plants, particularly with
respect to signaling processes associated with abiotic stress signaling and during host …

Na+ transporters play an important role during salt stress and development. The present
study is aimed at genome-wide identification, in silico analysis of sodium-proton antiporter …

Calcium is one of the most pleiotropic second messengers in all living organisms. However,
signalling specificity is encoded via spatio-temporally regulated signatures that act with …

Potassium is the most abundant inorganic cation that constitutes up to 10% of the total plant
dry weight and plays a prominent role in plant growth and development. Plants exhibit a …

SaNRAMP3 gene cloned from a Zn/Cd hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii was ectopicly
expressed in Brassica juncea, a fast-growing and high-biomass crop plant. In a tissue …
