The study of mechanosensitive channels (MS) in living organisms has progressed considerably over the past two decades. The understanding of their roles in mechanosensation and mechanotransduction was consecrated by the awarding of the Nobel Prize in 2021 to A. Patapoutian for his discoveries on the role of MS channels in mechanoperception in humans. In this review, we first summarize the fundamental properties of MS channels and their mode of operation. Then in a second step, we provide an update on the knowledge on the families of MS channels identified in plants and the roles and functions that have been attributed to them.
在过去的二十年中，对活生物体中机械敏感通道（MS）的研究取得了相当大的进展。2021 年，A. Patapoutian 因发现 MS 通道在人类机械感知中的作用而获得诺贝尔奖，这一发现使人们对它们在机械感觉和机械转导中的作用的理解得到了认可。在这篇综述中，我们首先总结了 MS 通道的基本特性及其工作模式。然后，在第二步中，我们提供了关于在植物中鉴定出的 MS 通道家族的最新知识，以及已归因于它们的作用和功能。
