How does the plant cope with this imbalance? Researchers reveal that autophagy, the process of intracellular self-degradation, may have an unexpected role in restoring zinc-iron balance in plants.

Plant survival under high salinity: Plant cell wall sensing mechanism Another newly discovered role for the versatile receptor kinase, FERONIA, in the model plant Arabidopsis.

Salt stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses that limit plant growth and crop production worldwide. Moderate salinity can reduce average yields by 50–80%. The deleterious effects of ...
