Comparative analysis of HKT genes in Ipomoea pes-caprae unveils conserved Na+/K+ symporter functions within the gene family

The HKT protein family plays a vital role in plant responses to salt stress by mediating sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) transport and maintaining Na+-K+ balance. Ipomoea pes-caprae (IPC), a pantropical creeping plant distributed along coastal regions in tropical and subtropical zones, exhibits exce...
