Abstract Potassium (K+), the most abundant cation in biological organisms, plays a crucial
role in the survival and development of plant cells, modulation of basic mechanisms such as …

The main objectives of this study were to elucidate the roles of silicon (Si) in alleviating the
effects of 2 mM zinc (high Zn) stress on photosynthesis and its related gene expression …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) ubiquitously colonize the roots of plants growing in extreme
heavy metals (HMs)-contaminated soils. Little is known about the overall molecular …

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 …

Potassium translocation in plants is accomplished by a large variety of transport systems.
Most of the available molecular information on these proteins concerns voltage-gated …

Voltage‐gated potassium channels of plants are multimeric proteins built of four α‐subunits.
In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, nine genes coding for K+ channel α‐subunits have …

The Shaker potassium channels are tetrameric proteins formed by the assembly of four α-
subunits. The oligomerization can occur among both homo-and hetero-α-subunits. KDC1 is …

We report the isolation and characterisation of DKT1, a new carrot K+ channel α‐subunit
belonging to the Shaker‐like family. DKT1 is expressed in many tissues of the adult plant …

Voltage-gated potassium channels are formed by the assembly of four identical
(homotetramer) or different (heterotetramer) subunits. Tetramerization of plant potassium …

Functional heteromeric plant Shaker potassium channels can be formed by the assembly of
subunits from different tissues, as well as from diverse plant species. KDC1 (K+ Daucus …
