Abstract excerpt
A reverse genetic strategy was used to isolate Arabidopsis plants containing "knockout" mutations in AKT1 and AKT2, two members of a K+ channel gene family. Comparative studies of growth and membrane properties in wild-type and mutant seedlings were performed to investigate the physiological functions of these two related channels. The growth rates of plants supplied with rate-limiting concentrations of K+...
