Background Salinity is a global issue threatening agricultural production systems across the
globe. While the major focus of plant salinity stress tolerance research has been on sodium …

Intracellular potassium homeostasis is a prerequisite for the optimal operation of plant
metabolic machinery and plant's overall performance. It is controlled by K+ uptake, efflux …

About 7% of the total land around the globe is salt‐affected causing a great loss to
agriculture. Salt stress refers to the excessive amount of soluble salts in the root zone which …

Polyamines are unique polycationic metabolites, controlling a variety of vital functions in
plants, including growth and stress responses. Over the last two decades a bulk of data was …

Abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, and flooding severely limit food and fibre
production and result in penalties of in excess of US $100 billion per annum to the …

3–3 proteins play an important role in the regulation of many cellular processes. The
Arabidopsis vacuolar two-pore K+ channel 1 (TPK1) interacts with the 14–3–3 protein GRF6 …

Halophyte species implement a “salt-including” strategy, sequestering significant amounts of
Na+ to cell vacuoles. This requires a reduction of passive Na+ leak from the vacuole. In this …

The most prominent ion channel localized in plant vacuoles is the slow activating SV type.
Slow vacuolar (SV) channels were discovered by patch clamp studies as early as 1986. In …

Both in vacuolar and plasma membranes, in addition to truly K+-selective channels there is
a variety of non-selective channels, which conduct K+ and other ions with little preference …

This work critically discusses the direct and indirect effects of natural polyamines and their
catabolites such as reactive oxygen species and γ-aminobutyric acid on the activity of key …
