More than 200 genes annotated as Na+/H+ hydrogen exchangers (NHEs) currently reside in
bioinformation databases such as GenBank and Pfam. We performed detailed phylogenetic …

Potassium (K+) is an essential macronutrient in plants and a lack of K+ significantly reduces
the potential for plant growth and development. By contrast, sodium (Na+), while beneficial …

One of the most grievous heavy metal pollutants in the environment is cadmium (Cd), which
is not only responsible for the crop yield loss owing to its phytotoxicity, but also for the …

Saline-alkali stress is a widespread adversity that severely affects plant growth and
productivity. Saline-alkaline soils are characterized by high salt content and high pH values …

Arabidopsis halleri ssp. halleri (accession Langelsheim) is a naturally selected zinc (Zn)‐
and cadmium‐tolerant Zn hyperaccumulator. This plant differs strikingly from its close …

Pollen germination, along with pollen tube growth, is an essential process for the
reproduction of flowering plants. The germinating pollen with tip-growth characteristics …

We have studied the physiological and genetic responses of Arabidopsis thaliana
L.(Arabidopsis) to gold. The root lengths of Arabidopsis seedlings grown on nutrient agar …

A total of 45 genes encoding for P-type ATPases have been identified in the complete
genome sequence of Arabidopsis. Thus, this plant harbors a primary transport capability not …

The essentiality of 14 mineral elements so far have been reported in plant nutrition. Eight of
these elements were known as micronutrients due to their lower concentrations in plants …

Background Plants contain relatively few cell types, each contributing a specialized role in
shaping plant function. With respect to plant nutrition, different cell types accumulate certain …
