The Ca2+-CaM Signaling Pathway Mediates Potassium Uptake by Regulating Reactive Oxygen Species Homeostasis in Tobacco Roots Under Low-K+ Stress.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Potassium (K+) deficiency severely threatens crop growth and productivity. Calcium (Ca2+) signaling and its sensors play a central role in the response to low-K+ stress. Calmodulin (CaM) is an important Ca2+ sensor. However, the mechanism by which Ca2+ signaling and CaM mediate the response of roots to low-K+ stress remains unclear. In this study, we found that the K+ concentration significantly decreased in both shoots and roots treated with Ca2+ channel blockers, a Ca2+ chelator, and CaM antagonists. Under low-K+ stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulated, and the activity of antioxidant enzymes, NAD kinase (NADK), and NADP phosphatase (NADPase) decreased. This indicates t
