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.

Salinity stress constrains lateral root (LR) growth and severely impacts plant growth. Auxin signaling is indispensable for the regulation of LR formation. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of...

Zou et al with @mmjulkowska Bent Petersen, our colleagues @WURplant @zhang_yanxia @PPH_WUR @PDB_WUR: an unexpected turn in the role of cell walls in response to salt: Cell wall extensin arabinosylation is required for root directional response to salinity
