Zinc belongs to the mineral elements, the so-called micronutrients, which are essential for all
types of plants. Embedding itself into the enzymes associated with proteosynthesis and …

Being the native flora of saline soil, halophytes are well studied for their salt tolerance and
adaptation mechanism at the physiological, biochemical, molecular and metabolomic levels …

Plants allocate nutrients to specific leaf cell types; eudicots are thought to predominantly
allocate phosphorus (P) to epidermal/bundle sheath cells. However, three Proteaceae …

Our previous studies showed that high salt tolerance in Tibetan wild barley accessions was
associated with HvHKT1; 1, a member of the high-affinity potassium transporter family …

The presence of the toxic metal cadmium (Cd2+) in certain foodstuffs is recognised as a
global problem, and there is increasing legislative pressure to reduce the content of Cd in …

KT/HAK/KUP (KUP) family is responsible for potassium ion (K+) transport, which plays a vital
role in the response of plants to abiotic stress by maintaining osmotic balance. However, our …

Cation/proton antiporters (CPAs) play a major role in maintaining living cells' homeostasis.
CPAs are commonly divided into two main groups, CPA1 and CPA2, and are further …

Abstract KEA4, KEA5, and KEA6 are members of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) K+
efflux antiporter (KEA) family that share high sequence similarity but whose function remains …

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 …
