Homeostats - the hidden rulers of ion homeostasis in plants

The paper introduces the concept of homeostats as transporter networks controlling ion homeostasis in plants and explains potassium homeostat modeling as a framework for similar systems.

An auxin homeostat allows plant cells to establish and control defined transmembrane auxin gradients

The paper uses mathematical modeling to show how auxin transporters work together to create and control transmembrane auxin gradients in plants.

Vicia faba TPC1, a genetically encoded variant of the vacuole Two Pore Channel 1, is hyperexcitable

This paper identifies a hyperexcitable variant of the TPC1 channel in Vicia faba, showing it differs from Arabidopsis in Ca2+ sensitivity and vacuole excitability.

Nutrient cycling is an important mechanism for homeostasis in plant cells

The paper models nutrient transport in plant cells to show that maintaining cytosolic nutrient concentrations requires multiple transporter types and energy-consuming cycles.

Extracellular Cation Binding Pocket Is Essential For Ion Conduction Of OsHKT2;2

The paper identifies a cation binding pocket in OsHKT2;2 essential for ion conduction, with K504 playing a central role in cation transport.

The fungal root endophyte Serendipita indica modifies extracellular nucleotides to subvert plant immunity

This study shows that the fungal endophyte Serendipita indica modifies extracellular nucleotides to suppress plant immunity during colonization.
