An individual plant cell functions as a complex dynamic circuit, composed of resistor, capacitor, and inductor networks created by cellular structures and macromolecules. Furthermore, high-voltage electrostatic fields (HVEF) alter its electrical properties and initiate metabolic changes. This study aimed to examine the impact of HVEF on the kinetic properties of potassium (K$^+$) and phosphate (H$_2$PO$_4^-$) absorption by Cucumis sativus L. seedlings, and further probed the regulatory mechanisms by constructing a cell membrane potential model. Experimental findings revealed that HVEF substantially altered the maximum uptake rate ($I_{max}$), half-saturation constant ($K_m$), and minimum cr... More >

The integration of physical and chemical processes underpins life. Plant cells function as bioelectrical units, storing and converting energy through capacitive, inductive, and resistive properties. This study elucidates the electrophysiological and molecular mechanisms governing salt transport and energy allocation in Aegiceras corniculatum leaves under combined salinity-waterlogging stress (T1: 0.1 M NaCl + 2 h; T2: 0.2 M NaCl + 4 h; T3: 0.4 M NaCl + 6 h). Results demonstrate that leaf intracellular water-salt transport dynamics, coupled with salt-transport gene expression, coordinately regulate active/passive transport, vacuolar compartmentalization, cytoplasmic Na+ levels, and excretion....
