Compared to animal cells, K+ is more abundantly present in plant cells. Overall performance of the plant, and operation of metabolic machinery depends upon intracellular K+ homeostasis (K+ uptake and efflux) via K+ channels and transporters acting as mediators of cellular responses during plant development. Unlike animals, plants lack sodium/K+ exchangers; plant cells have developed unique transport systems for K+ accumulation and release. In Arabidopsis thaliana, 71 K+ channels and transporters have been identified and categorized into six families. Plant adaptive responses to several abiotic and biotic stresses are mediated by regulation of intracellular K+ homeostasis. In this report, we highlight the role of K+ in abiotic and biotic stresses, features of channels and transporters responsible for its homeostasis along with its evolutionary relationship, perception and sensing mechanisms, and K+ deficiency triggering different signaling cascades. Overall, this book covers the role of K+ in plants would be significantly helpful to research, academic community as well as students to understand the one of the major attributes of plant biology.SpringerBriefs in Plant Science,2192-1229Plant physiologyPlant anatomyPlant developmentPlant systematicsPlant taxonomyPlant biochemistryPlant pathologyPlant Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33020Plant Anatomy/Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24019Plant Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24051Plant Biochemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14021Plant Pathologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24035PotassithubPlantesthubFitoquímicathubLlibres electrònicsthubPlant physiology.Plant anatomy.Plant development.Plant systematics.Plant taxonomy.Plant biochemistry.Plant pathology.Plant Physiology.Plant Anatomy/Development.Plant Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeography.Plant Biochemistry.Plant Pathology.PotassiPlantesFitoquímica581.13342Pandey Girdhar Kauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058747Mahiwal Swatiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409682503321Role of Potassium in Plants2538467UNINA
