TORC pathway intersects with a calcium sensor kinase network to regulate potassium sensing in Arabidopsis
TORC pathway intersects with a calcium sensor kinase network to regulate potassium sensing in Arabidopsis

Potassium (K) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth, and its availability in the soil varies widely, requiring plants to respond and adapt to the changing K nutrient status. We show here that plant growth rate is closely correlated with K status in the medium, and this K-dependent growth is mediated by the highly conserved nutrient sensor, target of rapamycin (TOR).
