Poyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are powerful modulators of several animal ion channels. It is shown here that PUFAs strongly affect the activity of the Slow Valcuolar (SV) channel encoded by the plant TPC1 gene. The patchclamp technique was applied to isolated vaculoes from carrot taproots and Arabidopsis thaliana mesophyll cells and...
