Since the first recordings of single potassium channel activities in the plasma membrane of
guard cells more than 25 years ago, patch-clamp studies discovered a variety of ion …

Plants have evolved a multitude of strategies to adjust their growth according to external and
internal signals. Interconnected metabolic and phytohormonal signalling networks allow …

The Arabidopsis thaliana K+ channel KAT1 has been suggested to have a key role in
mediating the aperture of stomata pores on the surface of plant leaves. Although the activity …

Potassium (K+) is the most abundant inorganic cation in plant cells. Unlike animals, plants
lack sodium/potassium exchangers. Instead, plant cells have developed unique transport …

The essential mineral nutrient potassium (K+) is the most important inorganic cation for
plants and is recognized as a limiting factor for crop yield and quality. Nonetheless, it is only …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for development and stress signaling in
plants. They contribute to plant defense against pathogens, regulate stomatal transpiration …

Abstract In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the Shaker K+ channel AKT1 conducts K+
uptake in root cells, and its activity is regulated by CBL1/9-CIPK23 complexes as well as by …

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 …

Potassium transporters play crucial roles in K+ uptake and translocation in plants. However,
so far little is known about the regulatory mechanism of potassium transporters. Here, we …

Phylogenetic analysis can be a powerful tool for generating hypotheses regarding the
evolution of physiological processes. Here, we provide an updated view of the evolution of …
