This project investigates the role of the AtKC1 Shaker subunit in plant stomatal regulation and adaptation to water stress. By employing various molecular and physiological techniques, it aims to understand how AtKC1 influences potassium ion channels and plant responses to environmental changes.
Plant Shaker channels form the major K+ conductance of the plasma membrane, thereby mediating large K+ fluxes required for plant growth and development.
Also, owing to the role of K+ ion in control of the cell osmotic potential, they are involved in the modulation of stomatal movements, which is necessary for allowing CO2 uptake while limiting transpirational water loss.
Thus, they contribute to plant adaptation to changes in water availability and air humidity.
Shaker channels are homo- or hete…
