e2“Noninvasive ion flux measuring and patch-clamp techniques were used to characterize K+ fluxes from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) root mature epidermis and leaf mesophyll under various Ca2+ to Na+ ratios”
e3“NaCl-induced K+ efflux was not related to the osmotic component of the salt stress, was inhibited by the K+ channel blocker TEA+, was not mediated by inwardly directed K+ channels (tested in the akt1 mutant), and resulted in a significant decrease in cytosolic K+ content”

Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Elevated external Ca2+ inhibits Na+-induced K+ efflux in Arabidopsis.
- Association NaCl-induced K+ efflux is not related to the osmotic component of the salt stress.
- Intervention effect NaCl-induced K+ efflux is inhibited by the K+ channel blocker TEA+.
- Association NaCl resulted in a significant decrease in cytosolic K+ content in Arabidopsis.
- Intervention effect One millimolar Ca2+ partially inhibits NaCl-induced K+ efflux.
- Intervention effect Ten millimolar Ca2+ fully prevents NaCl-induced K+ efflux.
- Mechanism The ameliorative effect of Ca2+ is at least partly attributed to a less dramatic NaCl-induced membrane depolarization.
- Observation Two populations of Ca2+-sensitive K+ efflux channels exist in protoplasts from the mature epidermis of Arabidopsis root and leaf mesophyll.
- Observation The instantaneously activating K+ efflux channels show weak voltage dependence and insensitivity to external and internal Na+.
- Observation Another population of K+ efflux channels is slowly activating, steeply rectifying and highly sensitive to Na+.
- Observation K+ efflux channels in roots and leaves have different Ca2+ and Na+ sensitivities.
- Mechanism Roots and leaves may employ different strategies to withstand salinity.
- Mechanism Ca2+ ameliorates K+ loss from the cell in Arabidopsis by regulating K+ efflux channels, directly and indirectly.
