Ion Transporters and Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants
Adaptation of plants to salt stress requires cellular ion homeostasis involving net intracellular Na(+) and Cl(−) uptake and subsequent vacuolar compartmentalization without toxic ion accumulation in the cytosol. Sodium ions can enter the cell through several low- and high-affinity K(+) carriers. So...

description | Adaptation of plants to salt stress requires cellular ion homeostasis involving net intracellular Na(+) and Cl(−) uptake and subsequent vacuolar compartmentalization without toxic ion accumulation in the cytosol. Sodium ions can enter the cell through several low- and high-affinity K(+) carriers. Some members of the HKT family function as sodium transporter and contribute to Na(+) removal from the ascending xylem sap and recirculation from the leaves to the roots via the phloem vasculature. Na(+) sequestration into the vacuole depends on expression and activity of Na(+)/H(+) antiporter that is driven by electrochemical gradient of protons generated by the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase and the H(+)-pyrophosphatase. Sodium extrusion at the root-soil interface is presumed to be of critical importance for the salt tolerance. Thus, a very rapid efflux of Na(+) from roots must occur to control net rates of influx. The Na(+)/H(+) antiporter SOS1 localized to the plasma membrane is the only Na(+) efflux protein from plants characterized so far. In this paper, we analyze available data related to ion transporters and plant abiotic stress responses in order to enhance our understanding about how salinity and other abiotic stresses affect the most fundamental processes of cellular function which have a substantial impact on plant growth development. |
