vaCATE: A Platform for Automating Data Output from Compartmental Analysis by Tracer Efflux Open
Compartmental analysis by tracer efflux (CATE) is fundamental to examinations of membrane transport, allowing study of solute movement among subcellular compartments with high temporal, spatial, and chemical resolution. CATE can provide a …

Membrane fluxes, bypass flows, and sodium stress in rice: the influence of silicon Open
Provision of silicon (Si) to roots of rice (Oryza sativa L.) can alleviate salt stress by blocking apoplastic, transpirational bypass flow of Na+ from root to shoot. However, little is known about how Si affects Na+ fluxes across cell memb…

The Role of Silicon in Higher Plants under Salinity and Drought Stress Open
Although deemed a "non-essential" mineral nutrient, silicon (Si) is clearly beneficial to plant growth and development, particularly under stress conditions, including salinity and drought. Here, we review recent research on the physiologi…

Measurement of Differential Na+ Efflux from Apical and Bulk Root Zones of Intact Barley and Arabidopsis Plants Open
Rapid sodium cycling across the plasma membrane of root cells is widely thought to be associated with Na(+) toxicity in plants. However, the efflux component of this cycling is not well understood. Efflux of Na(+) from root cells is believed t…
