DESCRIPTION:It is well known to any farmer that potassium (K) supply stron
 gly impacts on nitrogen usage efficiency and disease resistance of crops b
 ut the molecular processes underlying these interactions are poorly unders
 tood. Using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model species we have over the last 
 years assembled a large dataset detailing the effects of K deficiency on i
 on homeostasis\, as well as primary and secondary metabolism. We have furt
 her analysed regulatory mechanisms supporting plant adaptation to K defici
 ency at the level of hormones\, transcripts and enzyme activities. Based o
 n this information I will present our current molecular models explaining 
 K-nitrogen and K-disease interactions observed in the field.\n\nhttp://www
