Vesicular transport in the salt gland secretion process. Excessive ions in the cytoplasm are pumped into the SYP61- or ECH-labeled vesicles by NHX5/6 and the CLCd/f anti-transporter. The osmotic potential and pH balance of the vesicles are adjusted by the aquaporin PIP 2;7 and the proton pump VHA-a1. SYP61, Syntaxin of plants 61; ECH, ECHIDNA protein; NHX5/6, Na+/H+ antiporter 5/6; PIP2;7, plasma membrane intrinsic protein 2;7; CLCd/f, chloride channel d/f.
