P. Yang, Hua, C., Zhou, F., Zhang, B. - J., Cai, X. - N., Chen, Q. - Z., Wang, R. - L., Yang, P., Hua, C., Zhou, F., Zhang, B. - J., Cai, X. - N., Chen, Q. - Z., and Wang, R. - L., Molecular evolutionary analysis of the high-affinity K+ transporter gene family in angiosperms, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

The high-affinity K+ transporter (HKT) family comprises a group of multifunctional cation transporters widely distributed in organisms ranging from Bacteria to Eukarya. In angiosperms, the HKT family consists primarily of nine types, whose evolutionary relationships are not fully understood. The available sequences from 31 plant species were used to perform a comprehensive evolutionary analysis, including an examination of selection pressure and estimating phylogenetic tree and gene duplication events.
