Abstract excerpt
Cellular ion and pH homeostasis are crucial factors affecting and regulating metabolic reactions, protein stability, signalling and transport mechanisms. To balance intracellular ion concentrations, organisms need to constantly sense and respond to both the extracellular environment and cell compartments' requests. This fine-tuned system has been deeply studied in organisms, such as land plants and animals, but...
