Compared to animal cells, K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e  is more abundantly present in plant cells. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall performance of the plant, and operation of metabolic machinery depends upon intracellular K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e homeostasis (K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e uptake and efflux) via K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e channels and transporters acting as mediators of cellular responses during plant development. Unlike animals, plants lack sodium\/K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e exchangers; plant cells have developed unique transport systems for K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e accumulation and release. In \u003ci\u003eArabidopsis thaliana,\u003c\/i\u003e 71 K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e channels and transporters have been identified and categorized into six families. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant adaptive responses to several abiotic and biotic stresses are mediated by regulation of intracellular K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e homeostasis. In this report, we highlight the role of K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e 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\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e deficiency triggering different signaling cascades. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall, this book covers the role of K\u003csup\u003e+ \u003c\/sup\u003ein plants would be significantly helpful to research, academic community as well as students to understand the one of the major attributes of plant biology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-06-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030459529\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-45953-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 81\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47672931221644,"sku":"9783030459529","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030459529.jpg?v=1776526012","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030459529","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
