Abstract:Potassium (K+) plays crucial roles in many physiological, molecular and cellular processes in plants. Direct uptake of this nutrient by root cells has been extensively investigated, however, indirect uptake of K+mediated by the interactions of the roots with fungi in the frame of a mutualistic symbiosis, also called mycorrhizal nutrient uptake pathway, is much less known. We identified an ion channel in the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungusRhizophagus irregularis. This channel exhibits the canonical features … Show more
