Potassium Deficiency and Hormone Signalling in Plants
ABSTRACT Potassium (K or K⁺) is a vital macronutrient that influences numerous physiological processes related to plant physiology and development. Recently, there is a growing focus on enhancing K+‐use efficiency (KUE) to ensure optimal plant growth, especially in K+ deficient soils.

Multiple PIP2 binding sites in Kir2.1 inwardly rectifying potassium channels
Inwardly rectifying potassium channels require binding of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) for channel activity. Three independent sites (aa 175–206, aa 207–246, aa 324–365) were located in the C-terminal domain of Kir2.1 channels by assaying

Potassium silicate can decrease the uptake of sodium (Na+) into wheat cells by affecting the Na+ uptake channels and increasing ion homeostasis. Abstract Salinity causes negative impacts on crops. We investigated the effect of potassium silicate (K2SiO3) on the cytosolic uptake of sodium, [Na+]cyt, in mesophyll protoplasts of wheat cultivars differing ...

G protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels hyperpolarize neurons in response to activation of many different G protein-coupled receptors and thus control the excitability of neurons through GIRK-mediated self-inhibition, slow synaptic ...

Erg currents support electrical bursting in murine anterior pituitary corticotrophs
Abstract figure legend Anterior pituitary corticotrophs are a central component of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis that controls the release of glucocorticoids from the adrenal gland in response to stress. The hypothalamic secretagogue corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) promotes electrical bursting of mouse anterior pituitary ...

Ion activities and potassium uptake mechanisms of glial cells in guinea-pig olfactory cortex slices. [PDF]
1. Double-barrelled ion-sensitive micro-electrodes were used to measure changes in the intracellular activities of K+, Na+ and Cl- (aiK, aiNa, aiCl) in glial cells of slices from guinea-pig olfactory cortex during repetitive stimulation of the lateral ...

Previous reports indicate that the analgesic effect of opioids is due to both closure of specific voltage-gated calcium channels (N- and P/Q-types) and opening of G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium channels (GIRKs) in neurons concerned with ...
