| Abstract | Potassium (K+) nutrition and salt tolerance are key factors controlling plant productivity. However, the mechanisms by which plants regulate K+ nutrition and salt tolerance are poorly understood. We report here the identification of an Arabidopsis thaliana mutant, sos3 (salt-overly-sensitive 3), which is hypersensitive to Na+ and Li+ stresses. The mutation is recessive and is in a nuclear gene that maps to chromosome V. The sos3 mutation also renders the plant unable to grow on low K+. Surprisingly, increased extracellular Ca2+ suppresses the growth defect of sos3 plants on low K+ or 50 mM NaCl. In contrast, high concentrations of external Ca2+ do not rescue the growth of the salt-hypersensitive sos1 mutant on low K+ or 50 mM NaCl. Under NaCl stress, sos3 seedlings accumulated more Na+ and less K+ than the wild type. Increased external Ca2+ improved K+/Na+ selectivity of both sos3 and wild-type plants. However, this Ca2+ effect in sos3 is more than twice as much as that in the wild type. In addition to defining the first plant mutant with an altered calcium response, these results demonstrate that the SOS3 locus is essential for K+ nutrition, K+/Na+ selectivity, and salt tolerance in higher plants. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
