Soil salinity is a major contributor to crop yield losses. To improve our understanding of root responses salinity, we developed and exploited real-time salt-induced tilting assay. This assay follows growth upon both gravitropic salt challenges, revealing that bending modulated by Na+ ions, but not osmotic stress. Next, measured this salt-specific response in 345 natural Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) accessions discovered genetic locus, encoding the cell wall-modifying enzyme EXTENSIN...
Abstract Soil salinity is a major contributor to crop yield losses. To improve our understanding of root responses salinity, we developed and exploit here real-time salt-induced tilting assay (SITA). This method follows growth upon both gravitropic salt challenges, revealing that bending modulated by but not osmotic stress. Next, this salt-specific response was measured in 345 natural Arabidopsis accessions discovered genetic locus, encoding for the cell-wall modifying enzyme EXTENSIN...
SUMMARY Genes of the family PHOSPHATIDYLETHANOLAMINE‐BINDING PROTEINS ( PEBP ) have been intensely studied in plants for their role cell (re)programming and meristem differentiation. Recently, sporadic reports presence a new type became available, highly similar to YY ‐ PEBPs prokaryotes. A comprehensive investigation spread, origin, function revealed conservation across plant kingdom. The YY‐PEBP clade seems resulted from single Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) episode prokaryotic organism an...
ABSTRACT Accurately determining the elemental composition of plant tissues is essential for physiological studies on stress, including salinity tolerance. However, high-throughput routine analysis light elements (range sodium to calcium) in samples challenging due need complete sample dissolution and expensive inductively coupled plasma-mass-spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis. Lower costs method (ion chromatography, ion selective electrodes) exists, but also require lack sensitivity very small...
