Come and read the latest on the C-terminus of AtHAK5 and K⁺ use efficiency! 🌱 doi.org/10.1111/pce.... Truncating it with CRISPR gave bigger Arabidopsis plants. They had less K⁺, not faster uptake. The result: higher K⁺ use efficiency. @FRubioLab #PlantBiology #PotassiumNutrition
A C‐Terminus‐Truncated AtHAK5 K<sup>+</sup> Transporter Improves Efficiency of K<sup>+</sup> Utilisation in Arabidopsis
A C-terminus-truncated K+ Arabidopsis transporter, AtHAK5, lacking the autoinhibitory domain, promotes biomass production at the expense of reducing K+ content. This results in an increase in the Eff...
