Ion transport and osmotic adjustment in plants and bacteria
Plants and bacteria respond to hyperosmotic stress by an increase in intracellular osmolality, adjusting their cell turgor to altered growth conditions. This can be achieved either by increased uptake or de novo synthesis of a variety of organic osmolytes (so-called ‘compatible solutes’), or by cont...
