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.
