Abstract
Plants require potassium (K) to support growth and regulate hydraulics. Yet, K's effects on transpiration are still speculated. We hypothesized that K deficiency would limit grapevine water uptake by limiting canopy size and stomatal conductance (gs). Hence, we constructed large (2 m3) lysimeters and recorded vine transpiration for three years (2020-2022) under three fertilization application rates (8, 20, or 58 mg K L-1 in irrigation). Maximal K availability supported transpiration up to 75 L day-1, whereas K-deficient vines transpired only 60 L day-1 in midsummer. Limited vine growth and canopy size mainly accounted for reduced transpiration under low K conditions. Hence, considering K demand in addition to supply, we compared K deficiency effects on vines bearing 20 or 50 fruit clusters and found that reduced gs further limited transpiration when yields were high. Although fruits were strong K sinks, high yields did not alter K uptake because lower vegetative growth countered the additional K demands. Potassium deficiency leads to lower transpiration and productivity. Yet, internal mineral allocation compensates for fruit K uptake and masks biochemical indices or physiological proxies for K deficiency. Thus, decision support tools should integrate mineral availability, seasonal growth, and yield projections to determine grapevine water demands.

Abstract
Potassium (K) fertilizers are limited and non-renewable. Exploring the use of sodium (Na) and silicon (Si) as alternatives to reduce its use may be an alternative. However, the relationship of these elements with arugula nutrition and quality is unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study is to verify the effects of Na and Si on the parameters of arugula under conditions of K deficiency and sufficiency. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in a hydroponics system. The treatments used were K-sufficient, K-sufficient with Na, K-sufficient with Si, K-deficient, K-deficient with Na, and K-deficient with Si. Evaluations of physiological, biochemical, nutritional, and growth aspects were performed. Si supply increased the production of total phenols, ascorbic acid, and carotenoids in K-deficient plants. Both elements attenuated the damage caused by K deficiency and improved quality. This is an innovative strategy for the sustainable cultivation of this species.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION This is the first report on the involvement of abscisic acid signaling in regulating post-germination growth under Cs stress, not related to potassium deficiency. Cesium (Cs) is known to exert toxicity in plants by competition and interference with the transport of potassium (K). However, the precise mechanism of how Cs mediates its damaging effect is still unclear. This fact is mainly attributed to the large effects of lower K uptake in the presence of Cs that shadow other crucial effects by Cs that were not related to K. RNA-seq was conducted on Arabidopsis roots grown to identify putative genes that are functionally involved to investigate the difference between Cs stress and low K stress. Our transcriptome data demonstrated Cs-regulated genes only partially overlap to low K-regulated genes. In addition, the divergent expression trend of High-affinity K+ Transporter (HAK5) from D4 to D7 growth stage suggested participation of other molecular events besides low K uptake under Cs stress. Potassium deficiency triggers expression level change of the extracellular matrix, transfer/carrier, cell adhesion, calcium-binding, and DNA metabolism genes. Under Cs stress, genes encoding translational proteins, chromatin regulatory proteins, membrane trafficking proteins and defense immunity proteins were found to be primarily regulated. Pathway enrichment and protein network analyses of transcriptome data exhibit that Cs availability are associated with alteration of abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, photosynthesis activities and nitrogen metabolism. The phenotype response of ABA signaling mutants supported the observation and revealed Cs inhibition of root growth involved in ABA signaling pathway. The rather contrary response of loss-of-function mutant of Late Embryogenesis Abundant 7 (LEA7) and Translocator Protein (TSPO) further suggested low K stress and Cs stress may activate different salt tolerance responses. Further investigation on the crosstalk between K transport, signaling, and salt stress-responsive signal transduction will provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and molecular regulation underlying Cs toxicity.

Abstract
Potassium (K) deficiency in maize plants damages the nutritional functions of K. However, few studies have investigated the influence of K on C:N:P stoichiometry, the nutritional efficiency of these nutrients, and whether the mitigating effect of Si in plants under stress could act on these nutritional mechanisms involved with C, N, and P to mitigate K deficiency. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of K deficiency in the absence and presence of Si on N and P uptake, C:N:P stoichiometric homeostasis, nutritional efficiency, photosynthetic rate, and dry matter production of maize plants. The experiment was conducted under controlled conditions using a 2 × 2 factorial scheme comprising two K concentrations: potassium deficiency (7.82 mg L-1) and potassium sufficiency (234.59 mg L-1). These concentrations were combined with the absence (0.0 mg L-1) and presence of Si (56.17 mg L-1), arranged in randomized blocks with five replicates. Potassium deficiency decreased stoichiometric ratios (C:N and C:P) and the plant's C, N, and P accumulation. Furthermore, it decreased the use efficiency of these nutrients, net photosynthesis, and biomass of maize plants. The results showed that Si supply stood out in K-deficient maize plants by increasing the C, N, and P accumulation. Moreover, it decreased stoichiometric ratios (C:N, C:P, N:P, C:Si, N:Si, and P:Si) and increased the efficiencies of uptake, translocation, and use of nutrients, net photosynthesis, and dry matter production of maize plants. Therefore, the low nutritional efficiency of C, N, and P caused by K deficiency in maize plants can be alleviated with the supply of 56.17 mg L-1 of Si in the nutrient solution. It changes C:N:P stoichiometry and favors the use efficiency of these nutrients, which enhances the photosynthesis and sustainability of maize.

Abstract
Under potassium (K) deficiency photosynthetic carboxylation capacities are limited, affecting the photosynthetic rate of plants. However, it is not clear how ionic K within plants regulates carboxylation capacities. Therefore, the photosynthetic rate (A), ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco, EC 4.1.1.39) characteristics, and cytoplasmic pH of Brassica napus leaves with different K levels were measured to evaluate the effects of K on the carboxylation capacity by regulating subcellular pH. The results showed that biochemical limitation dominates the decrease of A. There was a close positive correlation between A and the Rubisco maximum carboxylation rate (Vcmax), which was closer than that between A and the maximum electron transport rate. The thresholds of leaf K concentrations causing decreased A, Vcmax, and Rubisco initial activity were consistent and close to 1.0% in the hydroponic experiments and 1.2% in the field experiments. K deficiency resulted in decreased Rubisco activity, which reduced carboxylation capacity. Moreover, the Rubisco initial activities in vitro with sufficient K supply or under K deficiency all were significantly reduced when the pH was decreased. The cytoplasmic pH was kept neutral at 7.5 under sufficient K supply, and decreased as the leaf K concentration declined below the threshold. Acidified cytoplasmic environment caused by K deficiency could not maintain the pH balance of the chloroplasts, leading to decreased Rubisco initial activity and photosynthetic capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In many regions of the world, K is being depleted from soils due to agricultural intensification a lack of accessibility, and the high cost of K. Thus, there is an urgent need for a sustainable strategy for crops in this environment. Si is an option for mitigating stress due to nutritional deficiency. However, the underlying effects of Si in mitigating K deficiency C:N:P homeostasis still remains unknown for bean plants. This is a species of great worldwide importance. Thus, this study aims to evaluate whether i) K deficiency modifies the homeostatic balance of C, N and P, and, if so, ii) Si supply can reduce damage caused to nutritional stoichiometry, nutrient use efficiency, and production of dry mass in bean plants. RESULTS K deficiency caused a reduction in the stoichiometric ratios C:N, C:P, and P:Si in shoots and C:N, C:P, C:Si, N:Si, and P:Si in roots, resulting in a decrease in K content and use efficiency and reducing biomass production. The application of Si in K-deficient plants modified the ratios C:N, C:Si, N:P, N:Si, and P:Si in shoots and C:N, C:P, C:Si, N:Si, N:P, and P:Si in roots, increasing the K content and efficiency, reducing the loss of biomass. In bean plants with K sufficiency, Si also changed the stoichiometric ratios C:N, C:P, C:Si, N:P, N:Si, and P:Si in shoots and C:N, C:Si, N:Si, and P:Si in roots, increasing K content only in roots and the use efficiency of C and P in shoots and C, N, and P in roots, increasing the biomass production only in roots. CONCLUSION K deficiency causes damage to the C:N:P homeostatic balance, reducing the efficiency of nutrient use and biomass production. However, Si is a viable alternative to attenuate these nutritional damages, favoring bean growth. The future perspective is that the use of Si in agriculture in underdeveloped economies with restrictions on the use of K will constitute a sustainable strategy to increase food security.

Abstract
Due to the versatility of its functions and participation in all types of metabolism, magnesium can be considered the main cation in the human organism. Equally important is the role of the main intracellular ion - potassium, which is a synergist of magnesium, especially with regard to the effect on cardiovascular system function. In Russia, there is insufficient consumption of magnesium and potassium by the population. The purpose of the work was to assess the role of magnesium and potassium in ensuring public health. Material and methods. Literature search was carried out using PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, RISC systems mainly over the past 10 years, with the exception of works of fundamental importance, according to the keywords "magnesium", "bioavailability", "potassium", "efficiency". Results. Chronic hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia are involved in the pathogenesis of various metabolic disorders (metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and sluggish inflammation). Magnesium deficiency increases the risk of cardiovascular (arrhythmia, hypertension, heart failure), neurological diseases (stroke) and depression, as well as diseases of the respiratory system (bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Potassium deficiency is also associated with pathology of the cardiovascular system. Adequate intake of magnesium and potassium with food and/or dietary supplements prevents the development of chronic metabolic complications. Various magnesium compounds used to correct its deficiency, have different bioavailability. Conclusion. The expediency of compensating for magnesium and potassium deficiency in nutrition has been proven both for preventive purposes in a healthy person and as part of diet therapy in a patient. Enrichment of the diet with magnesium and potassium is a reliable non-drug, economical and safe prevention of chronic deficiency and associated metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Potassium (K) scarcity of arable land is one of the important factors that hamper the growth of the plants and reduce yield worldwide. In the current study, we examine the physiological, biochemical, and metabolome response of Arachis hypogaea (GG7 genotype: fast-growing, tall, early maturing, and high yielding) under low K either solitary or in combination with Si to elucidate the ameliorative role of Si. The reduced fresh and dry biomass of peanut and photosynthetic pigments content was significantly alleviated by Si. Si application did not affect the leaf and stem K+, although it enhanced root K+ in K-limitation, which is probably due to up-regulated expression of genes responsible for K uptake. Si improves the potassium use efficiency in K-limitation as compared to control. K-deficiency increased MDA, O2•-, and H2O2 levels in leaf and root of peanut. Si improved/maintained the activity of antioxidative enzymes, which significantly lowered the ROS accumulation in K-limitation. The AsA/DHA and GSH/GSSG ratio was approximately unaffected in both leaf and root, suggesting the maintained cellular redox potential in K-starved peanut. Si promotes accumulation of sugars and sugar alcohols, phytohormones indicating their probable involvement in signal transduction, osmotic regulation, and improvement of stress tolerance. Down-regulation of aspartic acid and glutamic acid while up-regulation of lysine, histidine, and arginine could maintain charge balance in K-deprived peanut. The significant accumulation of polyphenols under K limitation supplemented with Si suggests the role of polyphenols for ROS scavenging. Our results demonstrated that Si as a beneficial element can mitigate K-nutrient toxicity and improve KUE of peanut under K-limitation conditions. Moreover, our results demonstrate that Si application can improve crop yield, quality, and nutrient use efficiency under nutrient limitation conditions.

Abstract
Biochar has direct or indirect effects on soil microorganisms, but the changes in soil metabolism are rarely monitored and analyzed. In addition, the potassium (K) effect of biochar has not attracted much attention. This study set up a four-year experiment with acid soil and citrus as the test soil and plants, respectively. The long-term effects of biochar on the acid soil microenvironment and citrus growth were explored from soil properties (nutrient contents, microbial communities, and metabolites) and citrus growth (nutrient contents, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and root endophytes). The results showed that the four-year amendment of biochar in acid soil was very significant, in which the soil pH was increased by 1 unit, organic matter and cation exchange capacity (CEC) increased by 120.77% and 16.21%, respectively. Biochar improved the K availability of soil by increasing the number and metabolic activity of Azotobacter and Pseudomonas, and finally effectively alleviated the K deficiency of citrus. From the perspective of available K content, 2% biochar reduced the 20% conventional K application rate. The pH, organic matter, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) were the most important factors affecting the bacterial community structure, while the fungal community was more sensitive to the change in the nutrient environment. Biochar mainly stimulated the progress of soil metabolism by affecting the metabolic activity of bacterial communities. Biochar application increased some of the beneficial bacteria in the soil, i.e., the relative abundance of Pseudarthrobacter increased by 700 times. However, biochar and exogenous K did not significantly affect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and endophytic bacteria in citrus roots. In general, biochar has a long-term and positive response to the acidic soil microenvironment and citrus growth, as well as promotion value in the agricultural field.

Abstract
Potassium is a macroelement essential to many aspects of plant life, such as photosynthesis, phloem transport or cellular electrochemistry. Many enzymes in animals or microbes are known to be stimulated or activated by potassium (K+ ions). Several plant enzymes are also strictly K+-dependent, and this can be critical when plants are under K deficiency and thus intracellular K+ concentration is low. Although metabolic effects of low K conditions have been documented, there is presently no review focusing on roles of K+ for enzyme catalysis or activation in plants. In this mini-review, we compile the current knowledge on K+-requirement of plant enzymes and take advantage of structural data to present biochemical roles of K+. This information is instrumental to explain direct effects of low K+ content on metabolism and this is illustrated with recent metabolomics data.

Abstract
Potassium (K) deficiency has consequences not only on cellular ion balance and transmembrane potential but also on metabolism. In fact, several enzymes are K-dependent including enzymes in catabolism, causing an alteration in glycolysis and respiration. In addition, K deficiency is associated with the induction of specific pathways and accumulation of metabolic biomarkers, such as putrescine. However, such drastic changes are usually observed when K deficiency is established. Here, we carried out a kinetic analysis with metabolomics to elucidate early metabolic events when nutrient conditions change from K-sufficiency to K-deficiency in Arabidopsis rosettes from both wild type and mutants affected in both K absorption and low-K signalling (hak5 akt1 cipk23). Our results show that mutants have a metabolomics pattern similar to K-deficient wild-type, showing a constitutive metabolic response to low K. In addition, shifting to low K conditions induces (i) changes in sugar metabolism and (ii) an accumulation of salicylic acid metabolites before the appearance of biomarkers of K deficiency (putrescine and aconitate), and such an accumulation is more pronounced in mutants. Our results suggest that early events in the response to low K conditions involve salicylic acid metabolism.

Abstract
Potassium is a macro element in plants that is typically supplied to crops in excess throughout the season to avoid a deficit leading to reduced crop yield. Transpiration rate is a momentary physiological attribute that is indicative of soil water content, the plant’s water requirements, and abiotic stress factors. In this study, two systems were combined to create a hyperspectral–physiological plant database for classification of potassium treatments (low, medium, and high) and estimation of momentary transpiration rate from hyperspectral images. PlantArray 3.0 was used to control fertigation, log ambient conditions, and calculate transpiration rates. In addition, a semi-automated platform carrying a hyperspectral camera was triggered every hour to capture images of a large array of pepper plants. The combined attributes and spectral information on an hourly basis were used to classify plants into their given potassium treatments (average accuracy = 80%) and to estimate transpiration rate (RMSE = 0.025 g/min, R2 = 0.75) using the advanced ensemble learning algorithm XGBoost (extreme gradient boosting algorithm). Although potassium has no direct spectral absorption features, the classification results demonstrated the ability to label plants according to potassium treatments based on a remotely measured hyperspectral signal. The ability to estimate transpiration rates for different potassium applications using spectral information can aid in irrigation management and crop yield optimization. These combined results are important for decision-making during the growing season, and particularly at the early stages when potassium levels can still be corrected to prevent yield loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tea plant is one of the most important non-alcoholic beverage crops worldwide. While potassium (K+) is an essential macronutrient and greatly affects the growth and development of plants, the molecular mechanism underlying K+ uptake and transport in tea plant root, especially under limited-K+ conditions, is still poorly understood. In plants, HAK/KUP/KT family members play a crucial role in K+ acquisition and translocation, growth and development, and response to stresses. Nevertheless, the biological functions of these genes in tea plant are still in mystery, especially their roles in K+ uptake and stress responses. RESULTS In this study, a total of 21 non-redundant HAK/KUP/KT genes (designated as CsHAKs) were identified in tea plant. Phylogenetic and structural analysis classified the CsHAKs into four clusters (I, II, III, IV), containing 4, 8, 4 and 5 genes, respectively. Three major categories of cis-acting elements were found in the promoter regions of CsHAKs. Tissue-specific expression analysis indicated extremely low expression levels in various tissues of cluster I CsHAKs with the exception of a high root expression of CsHAK4 and CsHAK5, a constitutive expression of clusters II and III CsHAKs, and a moderate cluster IV CsHAKs expression. Remarkably, the transcript levels of CsHAKs in roots were significantly induced or suppressed after exposure to K+ deficiency, salt and drought stresses, and phytohormones treatments. Also notably, CsHAK7 was highly expressed in all tissues and was further induced under various stress conditions. Therefore, functional characterization of CsHAK7 was performed, and the results demostrated that CsHAK7 locates on plasma membrane and plays a key role in K+ transport in yeast. Taken together, the results provide promising candidate CsHAKs for further functional studies and contribute to the molecular breeding for new tea plants varieties with highly efficient utilization of K+. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated the first genome-wide analysis of CsHAK family genes of tea plant and provides a foundation for understanding the classification and functions of the CsHAKs in tea plants.

Abstract
Sheath rot disease (ShR) caused by Sarocladium oryzae (S. oryzae) infection is an emerging disease that causes severe yield loss by restricting the translocation of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC). Potassium (K) nutrition plays a critical role in disease resistance and the exportation of NSC. However, the physiological mechanisms of K with respect to ShR have not been thoroughly elucidated to date. The objectives of this study were to reveal the mechanisms by which K increases ShR resistance by regulating NSC translocation of rice, therefore, a field experiment combined with an inoculation experiment was conducted. We demonstrate that ShR disease incidence and disease index decreased dramatically with an increasing K application. K deficiency sharply induced the accumulation of NSC in the flag leaf (FL) and flag leaf sheath (FLS) under S. oryzae infection condition, which reduced the contribution of transferred NSC to final yield. A permutational multivariate analysis showed that K deficiency had a greater (49.0%, P < 0.001) effect on the NSC content variation in FL than that of S. oryzae infection (15.0%, P < 0.001). S. oryzae infection dramatically increased the difference in apparent transferred mass of NSC and cell membrane injury of diseased organs between K-deficient and K-sufficient rice. Finally, we demonstrate that cell membrane injury was a limiting factor imposed by K deficiency, which restricts the export of NSC from source organs. This work highlights the importance of K in improving ShR resistance by regulating NSC translocation (particularly the stem NSC).

Abstract
Annually, sand and gravel processing generates approximately 20 million tonnes of non-commercial by-product as fine silt particles (<63 μm) which constitutes approximately 20% of quarry production in the UK. This study is significant as it investigated the use of quarry silt as a sub-soil medium to partially substitute soil-forming materials whilst facilitating successful post-restoration crop establishment. In a glasshouse pot experiment, top-soil and sub-soil layering was simulated, generating an artificial sub-soil medium by mixing two quarry non-commercial by-products, i.e. silt and overburden. These were blended in three ratios (100:0, 70:30, 50:50). Pots were packed to two bulk densities (1.3 and 1.5 g cm-3) and sown with three cover crops used in the early restoration process namely winter rye (Secale cereale), white mustard (Sinapis alba) and a grassland seed mixture (Lolium perenne, Phleum pratense, Poa pratensis, Festuca rubra). Three weeks into growth, the first signs of nitrogen (N) deficiency were observed in mustard plants, with phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) deficiencies observed at 35 days. Rye exhibited minor N deficiency symptoms four weeks into growth, whilst the grassland mixture showed no deficiency symptoms. The 70:30 silt:overburden sub-soil blend resulted in significantly higher Root Mass Densities of grassland seed mixture and rye in the sub-soil layer as compared with the other blends. The innovation in this work is the detailed physical, chemical and biological characterisation of silt:overburden blends and effects on root development of plants commonly used in early restoration to bio-engineer soil structural improvements.

Abstract
Potassium (K⁺) is an essential macronutrient of living cells and is the most abundant cation in the cytosol. K⁺ plays a role in several physiological processes that support plant growth and development. However, soil K⁺ availability is very low and variable, which leads to severe reductions in plant growth and yield. Various K⁺ shortage-activated signaling cascades exist. Among these, calcium signaling is the most important signaling system within plant cells. This review is focused on the possible roles of calcium signaling in plant responses to low-K⁺ stress. In plants, intracellular calcium levels are first altered in response to K⁺ deficiency, resulting in calcium signatures that exhibit temporal and spatial features. In addition, calcium channels located within the root epidermis and root hair zone can then be activated by hyperpolarization of plasma membrane (PM) in response to low-K⁺ stress. Afterward, calcium sensors, including calmodulin (CaM), CaM-like protein (CML), calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK), and calcineurin B-like protein (CBL), can act in the sensing of K⁺ deprivation. In particular, the important components regarding CBL/CBL-interacting protein kinase (CBL/CIPK) complexes-involved in plant responses to K⁺ deficiency are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although silicon (Si) has been widely reported to alleviate plant nutrient deficiency, the alleviating effect of Si on potassium (K) deficiency and its underlying mechanism are poorly understood. Here, we examined whether Si-regulated putrescine (Put) metabolisms are involved in Si-alleviated K deficiency. METHODS Sorghum seedlings were grown in K deficiency solution with and without Si for 15 d. The influence of K deficiency and Si on leaf chlorosis symptoms, K(+) concentration, polyamine (PA) levels, amine oxidase activities, the transcription of Put synthesis genes, antioxidant enzyme activities and H2O2 accumulation were measured. KEY RESULTS Under K-sufficient conditions, plant growth was not affected by Si application. Si application significantly alleviated the growth inhibition induced by K-deficient stress, however. K deficiency induced leaf chlorosis and reduction in several leaf chlorosis-related metrics, including photosynthesis, efficiency of photosystem II photochemistry, chlorophyll content and chlorophyll a/b ratio; all of these changes were moderated by Si application. Si application did not influence the K(+) concentration in leaves under K-sufficient or K-deficient conditions. It did, however, decrease the excessive accumulation of Put that was otherwise induced by K deficiency. Simultaneously, Put synthesis gene transcription and activation of amine oxidases were down-regulated by Si application under K-deficient conditions. In addition, Si reduced K-deficiency-enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities and decreased K-deficiency-induced H2O2 accumulation. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that Si application could reduce K-deficiency-induced Put accumulation by inhibiting Put synthesis and could decrease H2O2 production via PA oxidation. Decreased H2O2 accumulation contributes to the alleviation of cell death, thereby also alleviating K-deficiency-induced leaf chlorosis and necrosis.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) plays an important role in the formation and evolution of life. However, to our knowledge, there has been no report on CA isoenzyme function differentiation in fungi. Two different CA gene sequences in Aspergillus nidulans with clear genetic background provide us a favorable basis for studying function differentiation of CA isoenzymes. Heterologously expressed CA1 was used to test its weathering ability on silicate minerals and real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect expression of the CA1 and CA2 genes at different CO2 concentrations and in the presence of different potassium sources. The northern blot method was applied to confirm the result of CA1 gene expression. Heterologously expressed CA1 significantly promoted dissolution of biotite and wollastonite, and CA1 gene expression increased significantly in response to soluble K-deficiency. The northern blot test further showed that CA1 participated in K-feldspar weathering. In addition, the results showed that CA2 was primary involved in adapting to CO2 concentration change. Taken together, A. nidulans can choose different CA to meet their survival needs, which imply that some environmental microbes have evolved different CAs to adapt to changes in CO2 concentration and acquire mineral nutrition so that they can better adapt to environmental changes. Inversely, their adaption may impact mineral weathering and/or CO2 concentration, and even global change.

Abstract
Potassium is a major inorganic constituent of the living cell and the most abundant cation in the cytosol. It plays a role in various functions at the cell level, such as electrical neutralization of anionic charges, protein synthesis, long- and short-term control of membrane polarization, and regulation of the osmotic potential. Through the latter function, K(+) is involved at the whole-plant level in osmotically driven functions such as cell movements, regulation of stomatal aperture, or phloem transport. Thus, plant growth and development require that large amounts of K(+) are taken up from the soil and translocated to the various organs. In most ecosystems, however, soil K(+) availability is low and fluctuating, so plants have developed strategies to take up K(+) more efficiently and preserve vital functions and growth when K(+) availability is becoming limited. These strategies include increased capacity for high-affinity K(+) uptake from the soil, K(+) redistribution between the cytosolic and vacuolar pools, ensuring cytosolic homeostasis, and modification of root system development and architecture. Our knowledge about the mechanisms and signalling cascades involved in these different adaptive responses has been rapidly growing during the last decade, revealing a highly complex network of interacting processes. This review is focused on the different physiological responses induced by K(+) deprivation, their underlying molecular events, and the present knowledge and hypotheses regarding the mechanisms responsible for K(+) sensing and signalling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Crop yield and nutritional quality are significantly reduced when potassium (K) in soil is deficient. As a beneficial element for plants, silicon (Si) is effective in alleviating the toxic effects of mineral nutrients. However, the roles played by Si in mediating deficiency in essential mineral nutrients in general and K in particular have not been investigated. METHODS To evaluate the role of Si in K deficiency-induced inhibition of growth of soybean (Glycine max) seedlings, the effects of K deficiency on shoot and root growth, hydrogen peroxide accumulation, K contents, lipid peroxidation and activities of antioxidant enzymes in the absence and presence of 2 mM sodium silicate (Na(2)SiO(3)) were investigated. KEY RESULTS Both shoot and root biomass of soybean seedlings were markedly reduced when grown in K-deficient medium (1 mM K) compared with those grown in K-sufficient medium (5 mM). Addition of Na(2)SiO(3) significantly ameliorated the K deficiency-induced reductions in shoot and root growth. Sodium silicate enhanced K concentrations in leaf, stem and root of K-deficient seedlings by 105.4, 83.4 and 58.8 %, respectively. Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in soybean seedlings were increased by 25 and 97 %, respectively, when exposed to K-deficient medium. These increases in accumulation of H(2)O(2) and MDA were removed by addition of Na(2)SiO(3). Addition of Na(2)SiO(3) reduced the K deficiency-induced increases in activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase. CONCLUSIONS Application of Si to soybean seedlings grown in K-deficient medium markedly enhanced K use efficiency. Therefore, Si not only increases tolerance to nutrient toxicity, but also ameliorates symptoms associated with deficiency in essential nutrients in plants.

Abstract
The mechanisms of photoprotection of photosynthesis and dissipation of excitation energy in rice leaves in response to potassium (K) deficiency were investigated. Net photosynthetic rate and the activity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase decreased under K deficiency. Compared with the control, non-photochemical quenching of Chl fluorescence increased in K-deficient plant, whereas the efficiency of excitation transfer (F'(v)/F'(m)) and the photochemical quenching coefficient (q(P)) decreased. Thus, thermal dissipation of excitation energy increased as more excess electrons were accumulated in the photosynthetic chain. The electron transport rate through PSII (J(f)) was more sensitive to O2 concentration, and the fraction of electron transport rate required to sustain CO2 assimilation and photorespiration (J(g)/J(f)) was significantly decreased under K deficiency compared with the control. Furthermore, the alternative electron transport (J(a)/J(f)) was increased, indicating that a considerable amount of electrons had been transported to O2 during the water-water cycle in the K-deficient leaves. Although the fraction of electron transport to photorespiration (J(o)/J(f)) was also increased in the K-deficient leaves, it was less sensitive than that of the water-water cycle. With the generation of reactive oxygen species level, the activities of superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase, two of the key enzymes involved in scavenging of active oxygen species in the water-water cycle, also increased in K-deficient rice. Therefore, it is likely that a series of photoprotective mechanisms were initiated in rice plants in response to K deficiency and the water-water cycle might be critical for protecting photosynthetic apparatus under K deficiency in rice.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that neuronal reentry in the cell cycle and specifically the expression of the transcription factor E2F-1, constitutes a pathway that may be involved in neuronal apoptosis after serum and potassium withdrawal. Other enzymes such as glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) are also involved in this apoptotic stimulus, and thus in the process of neuronal cell death. Primary cerebellar granule cells (CGNs) were used in this study to determine whether pharmacological inhibition of GSK-3beta is involved in neuronal modulation of the cell cycle, and specifically in the regulation of E2F-1 and retinoblastoma protein (Rb). CGNs showed a dramatic increase in GSK-3beta activity after 2h of serum and potassium deprivation. Immunoblot and activity assays revealed that lithium and SB415286 inhibit fully the activation of GSK-3beta and attenuate the expression of cyclin D, cyclin E, pRb phosphorylation and the transcription factor E2F-1. These data were confirmed using AR-014418, a selective GSK-3beta inhibitor that prevents the expression of cell-cycle proteins. Our data indicate that GSK-3beta inhibition regulates, in part, the cell cycle in CGNs by inhibiting Rb phosphorylation and thus inhibiting E2F-1 activity. However, the selective inhibition of GSK-3beta with AR-A014418 had not effect on cell viability or apoptosis mediated by S/K withdrawal. Furthermore, our results suggest that selective GSK-3beta inhibition is not sufficient to protect against apoptosis in this S/K withdrawal model, indicating that Li(+) and SB415286 neuroprotective effects are mediated by the inhibition of additional targets to GSK3beta. Therefore, there is a connection between cell cycle and GSK-3beta activation and that these, along with other mechanisms, are involved in the molecular paths leading to the apoptotic process of rat CGNs triggered by S/K withdrawal.

Abstract
Although numerous studies have demonstrated a neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic role of lithium in neuronal cell cultures, the precise mechanism by which this occurs, remains to be elucidated. In this study, we evaluated the lithium-mediated neuroprotection against colchicine-induced apoptosis in cultured cerebellar granule neurons. Previously, it has been demonstrated that colchicine mediates apoptosis in cerebellar granule neurons through cytoskeletal alteration and activation of an intrinsic pro-apoptotic pathway. Recently we also demonstrated a potential role of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5) in this pathway. Here we report that colchicine induces dephosphorylation in Ser-9 and phosphorylation in Tyr-216, and thus activation, of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta in cerebellar granule neurons, and that this modification is inhibited by the presence of 5 mM lithium. However, the selective glycogen synthase kinase-3beta inhibitors SB-415286 and SB-216763 were unable to prevent colchicine-induced apoptosis in these cells, suggesting that the anti-apoptotic activity of lithium is not mediated by glycogen synthase kinase-3beta under these conditions. On the other hand, 5 mM lithium prevented the colchicine-induced increase in cdk5 expression and breakdown of cdk5/p35 to cdk5/p25. In addition, we show that up-regulation of cdk5/p25 is unrelated to inhibition of the activity of myocyte enhancer factor 2, a pro-survival transcription factor. These data suggest a previously undescribed neuroprotective mechanism of lithium associated with the modulation of cdk5/p35 or cdk5/p25 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The diversity of the Mediterranean diet and the heterogeneity of acquired genetic alterations in colorectal cancer (CRC) led us to examine the possible association between dietary factors and mutations, such as Ki-ras mutations, in genes implicated in the pathogenesis of these neoplasms. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study was based on 246 cases and 296 controls. For the molecular study only 117 patients with Ki-ras tumor expression were included. Dietary patterns were assessed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. RESULTS Patients with Ki-ras mutations in codon 12 (K12) consumed significantly less vitamin A (p=0.02), B1 (p=0.01), D (p=0.02) and iron (p=0.03) than controls, whereas patients without these mutations had similar intakes of these nutrients to controls. The consumption of fiber, folate, vitamin E and potassium was lower in the two subgroups of patients (K12-positive or -negative) than in controls. Mutation in codon 13 was not associated with any nutrient deficit. CONCLUSION These results support previous findings that certain micronutrients protect against colorectal neoplasia and emphasize the importance of considering the different molecular forms of CRC as etiologically distinct diseases.

Abstract
Water samples were collected between 1999 and 2000 from wetlands in Minnesota that contained malformed frogs. The water samples were analyzed for 14 minerals/ions and screened for the presence of biologically active compounds using Xenopus laevis. Results indicated that water from two sites, CWB and ROI2, induced severe retardation with embryo lengths reduced 20% after 96 hr of development. The developmental delay observed with water from ROI2 was alleviated by supplementation with sodium, while both sodium and potassium alleviated the developmental delay observed with water whose mineral content mimicked that of CWB. Seasonal fluctuations in the sodium and potassium content at ROI2 and NEY correlated with changes in the rates of Xenopus development. Xenopus embryos reared on water from ROI2 for 120 hr displayed gut malformations not present in embryos reared on a synthetic media designed to mimic the mineral content of the water from ROI2. Embryos reared on water from ROI2 supplemented with minerals at levels comparable to that routinely employed in the rearing of Xenopus were neither retarded nor malformed. It is proposed that climate driven hydrology may influence the mineral composition at selected wetlands and delay development which may alter window(s) of susceptibility towards biologically active agents and the occurrence of malformed frogs.

Abstract
The Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus (FETAX) bioassay has been employed extensively to screen compounds for teratogenic activity. Recent laboratory studies have indicated that low potassium concentrations retard Xenopus laevis development. The effects of varying concentrations of minerals on Xenopus laevis embryo length and development were examined to determine the utility of the FETAX bioassay in the study of environmental teratogens. Water samples collected from 18 wetlands in Minnesota and North Dakota correlated with low mineral levels, causing delayed embryonic development in the FETAX bioassay. When the concentration of sodium or potassium was <5 ppm, Xenopus laevis development was delayed. As a result, it was difficult to assess teratogenic activity after 96 h of incubation. Furthermore, the length of the embryos-an indication of development-paralleled changes in mineral composition. Comparisons between different wetlands based on changes in one specific mineral were not possible due to a synergism between various minerals. If the concentration of sodium and/or potassium was <5 ppm but > or =2 ppm, extension of the FETAX bioassay to 120 h allowed organogenesis to proceed through stage 46, as required for scoring in accordance with ASTM guidelines for the FETAX bioassay. In those cases in which the concentration of sodium and/or potassium were <2 ppm, the embryos could not develop to stage 46 within 120 h and the FETAX bioassay was not suitable for detecting teratogenic activity.

Abstract
Potassium depletion in rats augments the specific renal lesions of phosphate loading. Since it has been shown that phosphate loading increases the specific cardiac lesions of potassium deficiency (12), it is concluded that the similar types of electrolyte imbalance (potassium depletion-phosphate load) act conversely in the two organs.
