  • Potassium is involved in plant growth and development in a variety of ways and also plays an important role in mitigating salt stress. HAK/KUP/KT is the largest family of potassium transporters in plants. We summarized its roles in potassium absorption, transportation, physiological function, and molecular mechanisms in response to salinity stress. Future development of the HAK/KUP/KT family is discussed.
