Modern agriculture relies on mineral fertilization. Unlike other major macronutrients,
potassium (K+) is not incorporated into organic matter but remains as soluble ion in the cell …

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

The two alkali cations Na+ and K+ have similar relative abundances in the earth crust but
display very different distributions in the biosphere. In all living organisms, K+ is the major …

Potassium regulates a plethora of metabolic and developmental response in plants, and
upon exposure to biotic and abiotic stresses a substantial K+ loss occurs from plant cells …

Salinity is one of the main factors limiting the crop growth and yield. The application of
nanomaterials such as cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) improves salt tolerance in …

Stomata optimize land plants' photosynthetic requirements and limit water vapor loss. So far,
all of the molecular and electrical components identified as regulating stomatal aperture are …

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 …

Abstract Ca2+-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) form a large family of 34 genes in
Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Based on their dependence on Ca2+, CPKs can be …

In grapevine, climate changes lead to increased berry potassium (K+) contents that result in
must with low acidity. Consequently, wines are becoming 'flat'to the taste, with poor …

Transport of K+ to the xylem is a key process in the mineral nutrition of the shoots. Although
CIPK‐CBL complexes have been widely shown to regulate K+ uptake transport systems, no …
