摘要:
Patch clamping whole-cell recording techniques were applied to study the inward K+-channels in Arabidopsis root cortex cells. The inward K+-channels in the plasma membranes of the root cortex cell protoplasts were activated by hyperpolarized membrane potentials. The channels were highly selective for K+ ions over Na+ ions. The channel activity was significantly inhibited by the external TEA(+) or Ba2+. The changes in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations did not affect the whole-cell inward K+-currents. The possible association between the channel selectivity to K+ and Na+ ions and plant salt-tolerance was also discussed.
