Welcome to the Roots in Salt lab. We investigate how plants deal with salt stress. Our lab is part of the Laboratory of Plant Physiology, Wageningen University, and is led by prof. Christa Testerink. Here, you can find information about our research, the team, opportunities to join the team, and the latest lab news.

“Partners in crime” – Warm temperature and mild water stress cooperatively promote root elongation
In the natural environment, plants are often exposed not just to single, but multiple stress stimuli. In our recently published work on warm temperature and mild water stress in Current Biology, we demonstrated how interaction of these two stresses orchestrate the root elongation response through the COP1-SnRk2s-HY5 pathway (Figure 1).
