Researchers have discovered a salt adaptation mechanism in plants that facilitates chloride removal from the roots and enhancing salinity tolerance. A research team has uncovered a novel mechanism of ...

Many bacteria and unicellular algae have light-driven pumps in their cell membranes: proteins that change shape when exposed to photons such that they can transport charged atoms in or out of the cell ...

Sodium, Potassium and zinc have all been promising contenders for lithium's place in rechargeable batteries of the future, but researchers have added an unusual and more abundant competitor to the mix ...

In the cells of the Arabidopsis plant, exposure to sodium chloride (NaCl) induces the movement (translocation) of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) tagged chloride channel, GFP-AtCLCf, from the ...
