Plant K+ Transport: Not Just an Uphill Struggle
Most plant cells can accumulate K+ to concentrations much higher than those in the external medium. Recent studies are providing new insights into the relative roles of channels and transporters in K+ accumulation. These studies are also pointing to specific roles for K+ channels and transporters in polarized development.
متن کاملCooling Induced by Uphill Energy Transport in Plant Photosystems
The uphill energy transfer in photosystems implies input energy at higher wavelength leading to energy output at lower wavelength. Briefly, energy is uphill transported from photosystem I (PSI) to photosystem II (PSII), the latter having a lower wavelength emission. This uphill energy transport involves absorption of thermal energy from the surroundings. While such cooling effects have been rep...

Are plant cells just yeast cells with chloroplasts? Should plant cell biologists who don’t work on chloroplasts just switch to yeast to help solve the basic questions that are common to all eukaryotes? The recent completion of the sequencing of the entire yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) genome and the availability of hundreds of well-characterized mutants certainly make this a tempting proposi...
متن کاملUphill Transport Induced by Counterflow
1. In a membrane transport system containing a mobile carrier with affinities for two substrates a concentration gradient with respect to one of the substrates under certain conditions is able to induce an "uphill" transport (against the concentration gradient) of the other. 2. In a kinetic treatment quantitative conditions for such a "flow-induced uphill transport" and some of its characterist...
متن کاملMembrane transport proteins: not just for transport anymore.
DIGITALIS GLUCOSIDES HAVE been used for their cardiotonic properties for several centuries. It was not until the 1950s that the molecular target of these compounds was identified as the Na-K-ATPase. Until recently, the only action attributed to digitalis at its molecular target was the inhibition of the Na-K-ATPase catalytic cycle, with consequent inhibition of ion transport and phosphorylation...
