Potassium (K+) is the most abundant mineral element in plants, and together with nitrogen and phosphorous, is limiting for plant production in many natural and agricultural habitats. Voltage-gated K+ channels are key players in the acquisition of K+ from the soil and in its redistribution within the plant. Interestingly, members of the family of plant voltagegated K+ channels are structurally very similar but functionally they segregate into inwardrectifying (Kin) channels that allow plant cells to accumulate K+, outward-rectifying (Kout) channels that mediate K+ efflux, and weak-rectifying (Kweak) channels with the unique characteristic that they can act in two different gating modes. They are either inwardrectifying channels mediating K+ uptake only or non-rectifying channels transporting K+ in both directions over the plasmamembrane. This proposal aims at identifying the reasons for |
