Cells must respond to an array of environmental and developmental cues. The signaling
networks that have evolved to generate appropriate cellular responses are varied and are …

▪ Abstract Nonselective cation channels are a diverse group of ion channels characterized
by their low discrimination between many essential and toxic cations. They are ubiquitous in …

Plants take up large amounts of K+ from the soil solution and distribute it to the cells of all
organs, where it fulfills important physiological functions. Transport of K+ from the soil …

The mutants irt1‐1 and irt1‐2 of Arabidopsis thaliana were identified among a collection of T‐
DNA‐tagged lines on the basis of a decrease in the effective quantum yield of photosystem …

An ideal plant for environmental cleanup can be envisioned as one with high biomass
production, combined with superior capacity for pollutant tolerance, accumulation, and/or …

The high affinity potassium transporter, HKT1 from wheat was introduced into Florida wheat
in sense and antisense orientation under control of a ubiquitin promoter. Ten transgenic …

Potassium (K+) is an essential nutrient and the most abundant cation in plants, whereas the
closely related ion sodium (Na+) is toxic to most plants at high millimolar concentrations. K+ …

IRT1 and IRT2 are members of the Arabidopsis ZIP metal transporter family that are
specifically induced by iron deprivation in roots and act as heterologous suppressors of …

Potassium ions (K+) are the most abundant cations in plants and are necessary for cell
growth. Arabidopsis shy3-1 mutant plants have a short hypocotyl, small leaves, and a short …
