     Electrophysiological techniques of two-electrode voltage clamp or patch clamp measure ion currents across membrane of plant cells (protoplasts for patch clamp) under determined applied voltage via the membrane and provide current-voltage curves with resolution up to pA and μseconds (Figures 4 and 5).
