Abstract excerpt
• SOS1 is an Na(+)/H(+) antiporter that plays a central role in Na(+) tolerance in land plants. SOS1 mediation of Na(+) efflux has been studied in plasma-membrane vesicles and deduced from the SOS1 suppression of the Na(+) sensitivity of yeast mutants defective in Na(+) -efflux. However, SOS1-mediated Na(+) efflux has not been characterized in either plant or yeast cells. Here, we use Physcomitrella patens to...
