High-Resolution Analysis of Growth and Transpiration of Quinoa Under Saline Conditions
Abstract:
The Plantarray 3.0 phenotyping platform® was used to monitor the growth and water use of the quinoa varieties Pasto and selRiobamba under salinity (0–300 mM NaCl). Salinity reduced the cumulative...

Reciprocal cybrids reveal how organellar genomes affect plant phenotypes
Abstract:
Assessment of the impact of variation in chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA (collectively termed the plasmotype) on plant phenotypes is challenging due to the difficulty in separating their effect from nuclear-derived...

Genetic Loci Associated with Early Salt Stress Responses of Roots
Abstract:
Salinity is a devastating abiotic stress accounting for major crop losses yearly. Plant roots can strikingly grow away from high-salt patches. This response is termed halotropism and occurs through auxin...

Beneficial microbes going underground of root immunity
Abstract:
Plant roots interact with an enormous diversity of commensal, mutualistic, and pathogenic microbes, which poses a big challenge to roots to distinguish beneficial microbes from harmful ones. Plants can effectively...
