TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the C-terminal region of KAT1 acts as a phosphorylation target for the Arabidopsis calcium-independent ABA (abscisic acid)-activated protein kinase SnRK2.6 (Snf1-relatedprotein kinase 2.6).

TL;DR: Results indicate that OsOPT7 may be involved in Fe transport in rice, and the upregulation of Fe-deficiency-responsive genes in plants grown under Fe-sufficient conditions is revealed, despite the high Fe and ferritin concentrations in shoot tissue indicating that Fe may not be available for physiological functions.

TL;DR: The results indicate that, in plant cells, a kinase analogous to protein kinase’C might exist that may modulate KAT1 channel activity through calcium‐dependent phosphorylation at some of the pinpointed residues in the cytosolic region of K AT1.

TL;DR: When the SeV/DeltaF vector carrying a human AQP2 gene (AQP2-SeV/ DeltaF) was administered retrogradely via ureter to renal pelvis, AQP 2 was expressed in the renal collecting duct to reduce urine output and water intake by up to 40%.

TL;DR: Results indicate that K+ uptake activity of Arabidopsis thaliana K+ channel KAT1 may be regulated by the phosphorylation of its C-terminal region, which is known to modulate many K+ channels involved in signal transduction cascade.
