Fig. 1. Diversity of K+ transport mechanisms at the plasma membrane of a ‘generalized’ leaf cell. Four different types of K+-selective
channels [inward- (KIR) and outward- (KOR) rectifying,
stretch-activated (SAS) and weakly voltage-dependent (WDKC) channels],
one non-selective cation channel (NSCC) and two K+
transporters (HKT and HUK) are shown. Their gating properties are shown
in the figure inset (a tick denotes activation/deactivation by an
external or internal factor; a question mark means the gating
properties are not known). MP, membrane potential; CN, cyclic
nucleotides; Pol, polyamines; ROS, reactive oxygen species.
