Potassium transport and plant adaptation to hostile environments
- Submission status
- Closed
Potassium is an essential macronutrient that plays a critical role in numerous physiological and biochemical processes in plants such as enzyme activation, stabilization of protein synthesis, tropisms, stomata functioning, membrane potential control and charge balance, phloem loading, and cytosolic pH homeostasis. In recent years evidence has emerged for the role of potassium as a signalling molecule, with implications to cell fate determination, plant development, and stress signalling.
This Special Issue aims to summarize the current knowledge on operation of potassium transport in plant adaptive responses to major abiotic tresses. This includes (but not limited to) drought, salinity, flooding, temperature extremes, oxidative stress, and nutrient deficiencies and toxicities. As such, we welcome articles focusing on the role of K+ in stress sensing and signalling, its radial and long-distant transport, the role and operational modes of specific K+ transporters in plant adaptation to hostile environments, and the causal link between K+ nutrition/homeostasis and cell development, programmed cell death, autophagy, and retrograde signalling.
