Potassium (K+) is an essential mineral macronutrient abundantly
present in the cytosol which, unlike other macronutrients, is not
metabolized and does not integrate into macromolecules. Compared to
animal cells, K+ is more abundantly present in plant cells. Overall
performance of the plant, and operation of metabolic machinery
depends upon intracellular K+ homeostasis (K+ uptake and efflux)
via K+ channels and transporters acting as mediators of cellular
responses during plant development. Unlike animals, plants lack
sodium/K+ exchangers; plant cells have developed unique transport
systems for K+ accumulation and release. In Arabidopsis thaliana,
71 K+ channels and transporters have been identified and
categorized into six families. Plant adaptive responses to several
abiotic and biotic stresses are mediated by regulation of
intracellular K+ homeostasis. In this report, we highlight the role
of K+ 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+ deficiency triggering different signaling cascades. Overall,
this book covers the role of K+ in plants would be significantly
helpful to research, academic community as well as students to
understand the one of the major attributes of plant biology.
