Abstract excerpt
Soil salinization poses a significant threat to global agricultural productivity. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that enable plants to cope with salt stress is crucial for developing salt-resilient crops. We found that several Arabidopsis WAK/WAKL genes are upregulated by salt stress, and their loss-of-function mutants exhibit altered salt tolerance compared WT plants. Here, we focused on WAKL4 and...
