Summary
Plants are constantly challenged by environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures. Sensing these signals and mounting rapid adaptive responses rely heavily on the precise transport of ions, metabolites, hormones, and signaling molecules across membranes by solute transporters. This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research on how transporter families (e.g., ABC, MIPS, SWEET, NHX, HKT) mediate plant responses to single and combined stresses at the molecular, biochemical, and physiological levels to maintain ion homeostasis, osmotic balance, and energy allocation. We particularly encourage studies integrating structural biology, transport kinetics, and multi-omics approaches.
