Salinity is one of the major abiotic factors threatening food security worldwide. Recently, our
understanding of early processes underlying salinity tolerance has expanded. In this review …

Roots provide the primary mechanism that plants use to absorb water and nutrients from
their environment. These functions are dependent on developmental mechanisms that direct …

Plant roots forage the soil for minerals whose concentrations can be orders of magnitude
away from those required for plant cell function. Selective uptake in multicellular organisms …

The hab1-1abi1-2abi2-2pp2ca-1 quadruple mutant (Qabi2-2) seedlings lacking key
negative regulators of ABA signaling, namely, clade A protein phosphatases type 2C …

Plants achieve mineral ion homeostasis by means of a hydrophobic barrier on endodermal
cells called the Casparian strip, which restricts lateral diffusion of ions between the root …

Suberin is a hydrophobic biopolymer that can be deposited at the periphery of cells, forming
protective barriers against biotic and abiotic stress. In roots, suberin forms lamellae at the …

Salinity of the soil is highly detrimental to plant growth. Plants respond by a redistribution of
root mass between main and lateral roots, yet the genetic machinery underlying this process …

Plant roots forage the soil for nutrients and transport them upwards to the aerial parts.
Nutrients entering the plant are transported through the concentric layers of epidermis …

Plant species have evolved myriads of solutions, including complex cell type development
and regulation, to adapt to dynamic environments. To understand this cellular diversity, we …

In higher plants, roots acquire water and soil nutrients and transport them upward to their
aerial parts. These functions are closely related to their anatomical structure; water and …
