Genomic and Transcriptomic Compilation of Chloroplast Ionic Transporters of Physcomitrella patens. Study of NHAD Transporters in Na+ and K+ Homeostasis.

Abstract excerpt

K+ is widely used by plant cells, whereas Na+ can easily reach toxic levels during plant growth, which typically occurs in saline environments; however, the effects and functions in the chloroplast have been only roughly estimated. Traditionally, the occurrence of ionic fluxes across the chloroplast envelope or the thylakoid membranes has been mostly deduced from physiological measurements or from knowledge of...
