    Abstract : It has previously been stated that K+-ions in a plant cell have a counter-balancing role in which the efflux of K+-ions from the thylakoid lumen charge-balance the light-induced proton pumping that is known to occur across the thylakoid membrane, and this in turn stabilizes photosynthetic activity. In the present study, two different types of plants of the same ecotype (Col-0) of Arabidopsis thaliana have been studied: a wild-type and a T-DNA exon-mutant (tpk5-e) that has lost the expression of the protein known as Tandem-pore K+- channel (AtTPK5).
