Cloning and characterizations of plant K+ transport systems aside from Arabidopsis have
been increasing over the past decade, favored by the availability of more and more plant …

Potassium (K+) is an essential macronutrient for plants. It is taken into the plant by the
transport systems present in the plasma membranes of root epidermal and cortical cells. The …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

Guard cells adjust their volume by changing their ion content due to intense fluxes that, for
K+, are believed to flow through inward or outward Shaker channels. Because Shaker …

Al3+‐resistant cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) release malate through the Al3+‐
activated anion transport protein Triticum aestivum aluminum‐activated malate transporter 1 …

Sodium and potassium are two alkali cations abundant in the biosphere. Potassium is
essential for plants and its concentration must be maintained at approximately 150 mM in …

Two‐pore channels (TPCs) constitute a family of endolysosomal cation channels with
functions in Ca2+ signaling. We used a mutational analysis to investigate the role of channel …
