VENUS FLY TRAP sodium channel. “While K+ is the most abundant cation in the cytoplasm of plant cells, typically reaching about 100 mM, Na+ is highly toxic even at low-mM cytosolic concentrations. The key to salt tolerance is to sequester the Na+ taken up by the plant to the vacuoles or transfer it to older tissues.”
