Under low-potassium (K) stress, a Ca signaling network consisting of calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) and CBL-interacting kinases (CIPKs) play essential roles. Specifically, the plasma membrane CBL1/9-CIPK pathway and the tonoplast CBL2/3-CIPK pathway promotes K uptake and remobilization, respectively, by activating a series of K channels. While the dual CBL-CIPK pathways enable plants to cope with low-K stress, little is known about the early events that link external K levels to the CBL-CIPK proteins. Here we show that K status regulates the protein abundance and phosphorylation of the CBL-CIPK-channel modules. Further analysis revealed low K-induced activation of VM-CBL2/3 happened earlier and was required for full activation of PM-CBL1/9 pathway. Moreover, we identified CIPK9/23 kinases to be responsible for phosphorylation of CBL1/9/2/3 in plant response to low-K stress and the HAB1/ABI1/ABI2/PP2CA phosphatases to be responsible for CBL2/3-CIPK9 dephosphorylation upon K-repletion. Further genetic analysis showed that HAB1/ABI1/ABI2/PP2CA phosphatases are negative regulators for plant growth under low-K, countering the CBL-CIPK network in plant response and adaptation to low-K stress.

Article Synopsis
  • Over-application of potassium fertilizer negatively impacts the environment, making the development of rice varieties with high potassium uptake efficiency (KUE) essential for sustainable agriculture.
  • Research highlights the role of the transcription factor OsNAC25, which enhances potassium uptake in rice, particularly under low potassium conditions.
  • Mutating OsNAC25 results in poor potassium absorption and stunted growth, while its overexpression improves potassium accumulation and tolerance, suggesting it could be a key target for developing rice varieties that thrive in low potassium environments.

Severe structural evolution and high content of [Fe(CN)] defects drastically deteriorate K-ion storage performances of Prussian blue-based cathodes. Herein, a potassium manganese iron copper hexacyanoferrate (KFeMnCuHCF), with suppressed anionic vacancies, eliminated band gap, and low K-ion diffusion barrier, is regarded as a cathode for potassium-ion batteries. The entropy stabilization effect and robust Cu-N bond induced by the inert Cu-ion with large electronegativity boost KFeMnCuHCF to exhibit great phase state stability, thus inhibiting the structural transition of monoclinic ↔ cubic.

The non-conventional yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus has recently emerged as a promising candidate for many food, environment, and biotechnology applications. This yeast is thermotolerant and has robust growth under many adverse conditions. Here, we show that its ability to grow under potassium-limiting conditions is much better than that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, suggesting a very efficient and high-affinity potassium uptake system(s) in this species.

Article Synopsis
  • * This study identified a trap energy level of 0.08 eV, suggesting that interface traps are primarily responsible for the current collapse during semi-on-state stress.
  • * Multi-frequency capacitance-voltage (C-V) testing indicated that the density of these interface traps ranges from 1.37×10^13 to 6.07×10^12 cm^-2 eV^-1, with energy levels between 0.29 eV and 0.45 eV.
