A Novel High-Affinity Potassium Transporter IbHKT-like Gene Enhances Low–Potassium Tolerance in Transgenic Roots of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.)

Plants, 2022
The high-affinity potassium transporters (HKT) mediate K+-Na+ homeostasis in plants. However, the function of enhancing low-potassium tolerance in sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] remains unrevealed. In this study, a novel HKT transporter homolog
