Abstract excerpt
Plants have developed disparate regulatory pathways to adapt to environmental stresses. In this study, we identified MKK4 as an important mediator of plant response to osmotic stress. mkk4 mutants were more sensitive to high salt concentration than WT plants, exhibiting higher water-loss rates under dehydration conditions and additionally accumulating high levels of ROS. In contrast, MKK4-overexpressing...
