摘要： Potassium ion (K + ) is one of the most essential nutrients for the growth and development of tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.), however, the molecular regulation of K + concentration in tobacco remains unclear. In this study, a two -pore K (TPK) channel gene NtTPKa was cloned from tobacco, and NtTPKa protein contains the unique K + selection motif GYGD and its transmembrane region primarily locates in the tonoplast membrane. The expression of NtTPKa gene was significantly increased under low -potassium stress conditions. The concentrations of K + in tobacco were significantly increased in the NtTPKa RNA interference lines and CRISPR/Cas9 knockout mutants. In addition, the transport of K + by NtTPKa was validated using patch clamp technique, and the results showed that NtTPKa channel protein exclusively transported K + in a concentration -dependent manner. Together, our results strongly suggested that NtTPKa is a key gene in maintaining K + homeostasis in tobacco, and it could provide a new genetic resource for increasing the concentration of K + in tobacco.
