Due to their sessile lifestyle, plants need to efficiently adapt to
changing environmental conditions during their life cycle. Nutrient
acquisition from the soil has to be able to adapt to considerable
fluctuations in concentrations to ensure adequate distribution
between tissues, cells and organelles. The storage and retrieval of
nutrients, metabolites or toxic substances in vacuoles plays an
important part in cellular homeostasis in plants. The long-range
transport and maintenance of turgor is critically dependent on the
availability of water and rate of evaporation, while at the same
time photosynthetic products have to be transported to all plant
parts. As a result plants contain a large number of ATP-dependent
pumps and secondary transporters that, in order to adapt to the
changing environment, need to be regulated by a complex network of
sensing and signaling mechanisms. Plants share many basic elements
of signal transduction with animals, but also contain
plant-specific signaling molecules and mechanisms. In this volume,
the role of transporters and pumps in the regulation of movement,
long-range transport and compartmentalization of water, solutes,
nutrients and classical signaling molecules is highlighted, and the
function, regulation and membrane-transporter interaction and their
roles in plant signaling controlling plant physiology and
development are discussed.
