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 …

Stomatal guard cells are widely recognized as the premier plant cell model for membrane
transport, signaling, and homeostasis. This recognition is rooted in half a century of research …

Potassium, mostly as a cation (K+), together with calcium (Ca2+) are the most abundant
inorganic chemicals in plant cellular media, but they are rarely discussed. K+ is not a …

Salinization of agricultural lands is a major threat to agriculture. Many different factors affect
and determine plant salt tolerance. Nonetheless, there is a consensus on the relevance of …

Plant growth and development requires efficient acquisition of essential elements.
Potassium (K+) is an important macronutrient present in the soil solution at a wide range of …

Salinity is a major abiotic stress affecting approximately 7% of the world's total land area
resulting in billion dollar losses in crop production around the globe. Recent progress in …

In plants, K transporter (KT)/high affinity K transporter (HAK)/K uptake permease (KUP) is the
largest potassium (K) transporter family; however, few of the members have had their …

Abstract Background Sodium (Na+) is one of the most intensely researched ions in plant
biology and has attained a reputation for its toxic qualities. Following the principle of …

Uptake and translocation of cationic nutrients play essential roles in physiological processes
including plant growth, nutrition, signal transduction, and development. Approximately 5% of …

Potassium (K) absorption and translocation in plants rely upon multiple K transporters for
adapting varied K supply and saline conditions. Here, we report the expression patterns and …
