Abstract excerpt
To cope with water stress, plants must be able to effectively sense, respond to, and adapt to changes in water availability. The Arabidopsis thaliana plasma membrane His kinase ATHK1 has been suggested to act as an osmosensor that detects water stress and initiates downstream responses. Here, we provide direct genetic evidence that ATHK1 not only is involved in the water stress response during early vegetative...
