In nature, land plants as sessile organisms are faced with multiple nutrient stresses that
often occur simultaneously in soil. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), and …

Key message We summarize recent studies focusing on the molecular basis of plant heat
stress response (HSR), how HSR leads to thermotolerance, and promote plant adaptation to …

Contamination by heavy metals including As, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni and Zn in
agricultural fields is a global safety issue. Indeed, excessive accumulations of metals have …

Summary Calcium (Ca2+) is a second messenger for plant cell surface and intracellular
receptors mediating pattern‐triggered and effector‐triggered immunity (respectively, PTI and …

Main conclusion Nutrient transporter genes could be a potential candidate for improving
crop plants, with enhanced nutrient uptake leading to increased crop yield by providing …

Plant cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs) are tetrameric cation channels which may
be activated by the cyclic nucleotides (cNMPs) adenosine 3′, 5′-cyclic monophosphate …

NRAMP family genes participate in the absorption and transport of heavy metals such as
cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) and play an …

Our knowledge of plant ion channels was significantly enhanced by the first application of
the patch-clamp technique to isolated guard cell protoplasts over 35 years ago. Since then …

Plants, being sessile, face an array of biotic and abiotic stresses in their lifespan that
endanger their survival. Hence, optimized uptake of mineral nutrients creates potential new …

Cytosolic pH homeostasis is a precondition for the normal growth and stress responses in
plants, and H+ flux across the plasma membrane is essential for cytoplasmic pH control …
