Periodic Reporting for period 4 - Sense2SurviveSalt (Surviving salinity: How do plants sense Na+?)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2022-07-01 al 2022-12-31
In addition, the natural variation work was expanded by investigating detailed growth phases responses in a set of accessions, revealing a trade-off between maintenance of primary and lateral root development and growth when plants are exposed to salt. This work was published as Van Zelm et al., Plant, Cell and Environment, 2023 (doi: 10.1111/pce.14583). Moreover, by comparing with the halophyte species Schrenkiella parvula, we were able to identify this species as Na+-insensitive with respect to several root traits. This work was recently published as Li et al., New Phytologist 2023 (doi: 10.1111/nph.18873).
