Root branching in salt requires auxin-independent modulation of LBD16 function biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_plants

We show that salt activates LBD16 independent of auxin-ARF7/19: a ZAT6-dependent pathway enables root branching while the canonical pathway is inhibited by salt! @zhang_yanxia @KilianDuijts @PPH_WUR @dorota_kawa @vandijkadj @WURplant & many others biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Learning from S. parvula how to deal with stress: do perceive the salt but don’t run away, don’t forget your roots and do keep growing. Collaborative effort led by @zhang_yanxia and Hongfei Li @PPH_WUR with @DSantelia @KilianDuijts @Crl_Psn Sam Zeeman biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

15 important unknowns @ThePlantCell ! Story compiled and led by Paul Verslues with contributions by many of us interested in understanding plant responses to abiotic stress. @JoseDinneny @jnbserres @PhilWigge @LucioConti3 @HildeNelissen @Scotanist and many more

@MiCRop_research nice group effort! @NPEC_nl

Great news! Congrats to all of you!
