Reactive O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> species are known to be primarily responsible for impairment of cellular function and growth depression under stress conditions. In plants, ROS are predominantly produced during the photosynthetic electron transport and activation of membrane\u2010bound NAD(P)H oxidases. Increasing evidence suggests that improvement of potassium (K)\u2010nutritional status of plants can greatly lower the ROS production by reducing activity of NAD(P)H oxidases and maintaining photosynthetic electron transport. Potassium deficiency causes severe reduction in photosynthetic CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> fixation and impairment in partitioning and utilization of photosynthates. Such disturbances result in excess of photosynthetically produced electrons and thus stimulation of ROS production by intensified transfer of electrons to O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>. Recently, it was shown that there is an impressive increase in capacity of bean root cells to oxidize NADPH when exposed to K deficiency. An increase in NADPH oxidation was up to 8\u2010fold higher in plants with low K supply than in K\u2010sufficient plants. Accordingly, K deficiency also caused an increase in NADPH\u2010dependent O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub><jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"equation\/tex2gif-sup-6.gif\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:14368730:media:JPLN200420485:tex2gif-sup-6\"\/><jats:sup>\u2013<\/jats:sup> generation in root cells. The results indicate that increases in ROS production during both photosynthetic electron transport and NADPH\u2010oxidizing enzyme reactions may be involved in membrane damage and chlorophyll degradation in K\u2010deficient plants. In good agreement with this suggestion, increases in severity of K deficiency were associated with enhanced activity of enzymes involved in detoxification of H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> (ascorbate peroxidase) and utilization of H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> in oxidative processes (guaiacol peroxidase). Moreover, K\u2010deficient plants are highly light\u2010sensitive and very rapidly become chlorotic and necrotic when exposed to high light intensity. In view of the fact that ROS production by photosynthetic electron transport and NADPH oxidases is especially high when plants are exposed to environmental stress conditions, it seems reasonable to suggest that the improvement of K\u2010nutritional status of plants might be of great importance for the survival of crop plants under environmental stress conditions, such as drought, chilling, and high light intensity. Several examples are presented here emphasizing the roles of K in alleviating adverse effects of different abiotic stress factors on crop production.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jpln.200420485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,27]],"date-time":"2005-07-27T09:55:33Z","timestamp":1122458133000},"page":"521-530","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":959,"title":["The role of potassium in alleviating detrimental effects of abiotic stresses in plants"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"168","author":[{"given":"Ismail","family":"Cakmak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","unstructured":"Abd El\u2010Hadi A.
