Title
Ca2+-Permeable, Outwardly-Rectifying K+ Channels in Mesophyll Cells of Arabidopsis taliana

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation IK,out occurred in all assayed cells.
- Observation Inward current appeared in fewer than half of cells at 100 mM K+.
- Observation Inward current was absent at 10 mM K+.
- Association Low external K+ accelerated IK,out activation.
- Observation IK,out was permeable to Ca2+ and Ba2+ in addition to K+.
- Intervention effect External Ba2+ caused a voltage dependent reduction in IK,out current.
- Observation Outside out single channels resembled whole cell IK,out in Ca2+/Ba2+ sensitivity, voltage dependence and activation time.
- Mechanism The channels may mediate Ca2+ influx and K+ efflux, with possible effects on photosynthesis.
