Our latest paper explained “in a nutshell”– LBD16 and Root branching under salt

Posted on by Minnie Leong

Previously on BioRxiv, now published in the Plant Cell, Yanxia Zhang’s paper on novel regulators of LBD16 function in roots grown in high salinity, received quite some attention. Please read the interview with Aalt-Jan van Dijk and Christa, which also highlights our new collaborations within the CropXR program on abiotic stress resilience. Finally, it showcases … Continue reading Our latest paper explained “in a nutshell”– LBD16 and Root branching under salt

From picture to movie – natural variation in root growth dynamics under salt

Posted on by zelm001

Written by: Eva van Zelm When too much salt is present in the soil the architecture of a plant’s root system changes. To see how these changes occur it can be useful to look beyond a static image to a more dynamic movie of the changes in root growth after adding salt. Previous research has … Continue reading From picture to movie – natural variation in root growth dynamics under salt
