Molecular information of K+ accumulation in grapes is strongly required. Under salinity condition potassium transporters are inhibited by Na+. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of salinity on the expression of K+ transporter genes in grape. Based on the previous screening study on 18 grape genotypes, ‘H6’ and ‘Gharashani’ (tolerant) and ‘Shirazi’ and ‘GhezelUzum’ (sensitive) ...

potato is one of the sensitive plants to drought stress and it is one of the main crops in the north regions of fars province. since the planting time is simultaneous with wheat irrigation period, due consideration should be given to reduce irrigation consumption for this crop. this research investigated the effect of potassium sulfate on the drought tolerance of potatoes. field experiment was ...

The active potassium influx in the human red blood cell is inhibited by strophanthidin, ethacrynic acid, and MK-870 (a new diuretic), and the degree of inhibition is greater at low concentrations of extracellular potassium than at high. In the case of ethacrynic acid, potassium appears to diminish the rate of combination of the drug with the transport system. The kinetic behavior of the active ...

Treatment of the apical surface of the isolated, ouabain-inhibited turtle colon with the polyene antibiotic amphotericin B permitted the properties of a barium-sensitive potassium conductance in the basolateral membrane to be discerned from the measurements of transepithelial fluxes and electrical currents. Simultaneous measurements of potassium currents and 42K fluxes showed that the movement ...
