Abstract excerpt
K+ accumulation in plant tissues is a crucial factor for plant growth and development. The tomato high-affinity K+ transporter SlHAK5 is essential for root K+ acquisition from low external concentrations. It is also involved in K+ accumulation in pollen and plant fertility as slhak5 KO plants show a low rate of pollen germination, impaired pollen tube growth and parthenocarpic fruits. Here, we present a thorough...
