The membrane transport system is closely involved in the formation of membrane potential and adaptation to the abiotic stress. We aimed the physiological role of the channels and the transporters which mediated Na and/or K permeation across the plasma membrane and thylakoid membrane. There are some difference in Na and K transport system between animal cells and plant cells. We have studied the structure and function of the Na/K transporters and K channels in plant cells and cyanobacteria which are an essential system for the controlling the solute flux across the membrane.
