Abstract excerpt
Ion channels and solute transporters in the plasma membrane of root hairs are proposed to control nutrient uptake, osmoregulation and polar growth. Here we analyzed the molecular components of potassium transport in Arabidopsis root hairs by combining K(+)-selective electrodes, reverse transcription-PCR, and patch-clamp measurements. The two inward rectifiers AKT1 and ATKC1 as well as the outward rectifier GORK...
