Overexpression of HvAKT1 Improves Drought Tolerance in Barley by Regulating Root

Explore a comprehensive webinar on improving drought tolerance in barley through HvAKT1 overexpression and root regulation. Delve into the research presented by Zhong-Hua Chen from Western Sydney University, Australia, covering topics such as potassium transport, molecular evolutionary analysis, and plant species K channel structure. Examine the effects of stress on genetic similarity, plasma membrane localization, and overexpression. Learn about electrophysiology measurements, secondary messengers, and root fluorescence. Investigate the roles of Akt2 and HvAKT1 in plasma membrane expression and barley leaf overexpression. Discover the impact on proton pump activity and net flux changes. Gain insights into the study's limitations, funding, and future research directions, including new ARC projects on stomata movements and salinity in Bali.
