Sensitivity of K+-and Ca2+-permeable channels to H2O2 determines ion homeostasis in salinized Ipomoea trifida

Cultivation of foods with a strong salt tolerance allows for increased grain output in saline-alkali land. Farmland that was previously unable to cultivate grain due to alkaline conditions would become available land used for planting grains with a higher salt tolerance. In this study, technologies such as NMT allowed researchers to monitor the fluxes of K+, H+, Ca2+, and Na+ in and out of live Ipomoea trifida bringing them closer to understanding how a plant reaches homeostasis under saline conditions.
