Abstract Nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and phosphorus (P) are essential macronutrients for
plant growth and development, and their availability affects crop yield. Compared with N, the …

Calcium (Ca 2+) serves as an essential nutrient as well as a signaling agent in all
eukaryotes. In plants, calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) are a unique group of Ca 2+ …

Plant growth and development are dependent on tight regulation of water movement. Water
diffusion across cell membranes is facilitated by aquaporins that provide plants with the …

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 …

As one of the most important mineral nutrient elements, potassium (K+) participates in many
plant physiological processes and determines the yield and quality of crop production. In this …

Potassium is the major cation responsible for the maintenance of the ionic environment in
plant cells. Stable potassium homeostasis is indispensable for virtually all cellular functions …

Potassium is an essential macronutrient that has been partly overshadowed in root science
by nitrogen and phosphorus. The current boom in potassium-related studies coincides with …

Fluorescent tagging of proteins and confocal imaging techniques have become methods of
choice in analysing the distributions and dynamic characteristics of proteins at the …

Cuticular wax, the first protective layer of above ground tissues of many plant species, is a
key evolutionary innovation in plants. Cuticular wax safeguards the evolution from certain …

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 …
