Significance Low nutrient status in soils is often limiting to plant growth, making the use of fertilizers a necessity in crop production. However, heavy use of fertilizers is costly and pollutes environment. Understanding how plants respond and adapt to changing nutrient status is critical for breeding effort to increase nutrient use efficiency and cut fertilizers. This paper describes a mechanism that allows plants to adjust growth based on external potassium (K) status. High-K activates the target of rapamycin complex (TORC) pathway that in turn inactivates the low-K-responsive calcineurin B-like proteins (CBL)–CBL-interacting kinases (CIPK) network, whereas K-deficiency turns on the CBL–CIPK network that inhibits the TORC pathway, underlying transitions between adaptation and growth promotion in plants depending on K availability.
