Under salt stress guard cells rewire ion transport and abscisic acid signaling

What is it about?

Plants experience salt challenges at whole organism, tissue, as well as cellular levels and with respect to their adaptation strategies are divided into salt-tolerant halophytes and salt-sensitive glycophytes. Our study shows that soil salinity is sensed and processed by a single cell type such as the guard cells and differs between a glycophyte and a halophyte as known from the different tolerance levels on the whole plant level.
