Potassium, mostly as a cation (K+), together with calcium (Ca2+) are the most abundant
inorganic chemicals in plant cellular media, but they are rarely discussed. K+ is not a …

Potassium (K) is an integral part of plant nutrition, playing essential roles in plant growth and
development. Despite its abundance in soils, the limitedly available form of K ion (K+) for …

Potassium (K+) is an essential cation in all organisms that influences crop production and
ecosystem stability. Although most soils are rich in K minerals, relatively little K+ is present in …

As one of the most important mineral nutrient elements, potassium (K+) participates in many
plant physiological processes and determines the yield and quality of crop production. In this …

Partially and fully completed plant genome sequencing projects in both lower and higher
plants allow drawing a comprehensive picture of the molecular and structural diversities of …

Potassium is an essential macronutrient that has been partly overshadowed in root science
by nitrogen and phosphorus. The current boom in potassium-related studies coincides with …

Background Salinity is a global issue threatening agricultural production systems across the
globe. While the major focus of plant salinity stress tolerance research has been on sodium …

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 …

The availability of potassium to the plant is highly variable, due to complex soil dynamics,
which are strongly influenced by root–soil interactions. A low plant potassium status triggers …

Potassium is a major inorganic constituent of the living cell and the most abundant cation in
the cytosol. It plays a role in various functions at the cell level, such as electrical …
