To characterize a Shaker-like potassium ion channel displaying weak rectification expressed within the vascular tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana.
Cloned and characterized the Shaker-family potassium channel gene in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Analyzed tissue-specific expression across source and sink phloem tissues using molecular localization techniques.
Identified a Shaker-like potassium channel exhibiting weak rectification properties.
Demonstrated prominent expression of the channel in both source leaves and sink phloem tissues across Arabidopsis.

Implication

Molecular analysis reveals a weakly rectifying potassium channel in Arabidopsis phloem, indicating a role in nutrient transport.
