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 …

HAK/KUP/KT K+ transporters have been widely associated with K+ transport across
membranes in bacteria, fungi, and plants. Indeed some members of the plant HAK/KUP/KT …

Background and Aims Potassium transporters belonging to the KT/KUP/HAK family are
important for various aspects of plant life including mineral nutrition and the regulation of …

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 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 …

Potassium is a major plant nutrient which has to be accumulated in great quantity by roots
and distributed throughout the plant and within plant cells. Membrane transport of potassium …

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

The high-affinity K+ transporter HAK5 from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) is essential
for K+ acquisition and plant growth at low micromolar K+ concentrations. Despite its …

Cloning and characterizations of plant K+ transport systems aside from Arabidopsis have
been increasing over the past decade, favored by the availability of more and more plant …

The high‐affinity K+ transporter HAK5 is a key system for root K+ uptake and, under very low
external K+, the only one capable of supplying K+ to the plant. Functional HAK5‐mediated …
