Whether a plant withers unproductively or thrives in salty conditions may now be better understood by biologists. The cellular mechanism that controls salt tolerance has been found in the arabidopsis ...

Salt stress is a major abiotic constraint that affects plant growth, development and productivity on a global scale. Plants have evolved a range of adaptive mechanisms—from maintaining ion homeostasis ...

Young Italian researcher studied salt intrusion at Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research Salt intrusion is a growing concern worldwide. Eleonora ...

As our climate changes and soil salinity increases in many agricultural areas, finding crops that can thrive in these challenging conditions is crucial. Cultivated tomatoes, while delicious, often ...

A study reveals a novel mechanism in roses where the Tryptophan-rich sensory protein (TSPO) degrades the ethylene receptor ETHYLENE RESPONSE 3 (RhETR3) to enhance salt tolerance. This discovery sheds ...

Two different brain circuits help regulate salt intake, according to a study in the journal Cell. One adjusts salt cravings, the other determines whether we find salty food delicious or disgusting.
