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.

Cell Walls in Salt stories from the Roots in Salt team

During the last years, our lab has been busy understanding the role of one of the very complex features of the plant cell, the wall, in plant responses to salt. One of the key questions we aim to answer in our research is how plants sense salinity of the soil. Recently, it is becoming clear…
