Mutation in OsCADT1 enhances cadmium tolerance and enriches selenium in rice grain (2019)
Journal Article
Chen, J., Huang, X., Salt, D. E., & Zhao, F. (2020). Mutation in OsCADT1 enhances cadmium tolerance and enriches selenium in rice grain. New Phytologist, 226(3), 838-850. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16404

•How cadmium (Cd) tolerance in rice is regulated remains poorly understood. We used a forward genetic approach to investigate Cd tolerance in rice. •Using root elongation assay, we isolated a rice mutant with enhanced Cd tolerance, cadt1, from an EMS...

Transcriptional plasticity buffers genetic variation in zinc homeostasis (2019)
Journal Article
Pita-Barbosa, A., Ricachenevsky, F. K., Wilson, M., Dottorini, T., & Salt, D. E. (2019). Transcriptional plasticity buffers genetic variation in zinc homeostasis. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 19482. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-55736-0

In roots of Arabidopsis thaliana, Zn can be either loaded into the xylem for translocation to the shoot or stored in vacuoles. Vacuolar storage is achieved through the action of the Zn/Cd transporter HMA3 (Heavy Metal Atpase 3). The Col-0 accession h...

Two Receptor-Like Kinases Required For Arabidopsis Endodermal Root Organisation Shape The Rhizosphere Microbiome (2019)
Other
Durr, J., Reyt, G., Spaepen, S., Hilton, S., Meehan, C., Qi, W., …Gutierrez-Marcos, J. Two Receptor-Like Kinases Required For Arabidopsis Endodermal Root Organisation Shape The Rhizosphere Microbiome

The Casparian Strip (CS) constitutes a physical diffusion barrier to water and nutrients in plant roots, and is formed by the polar deposition of lignin polymer in the endodermis. This precise pattern of lignin deposition is thought to be mediated by...

The Intensity of Manganese Deficiency Strongly Affects Root Endodermal Suberization and Ion Homeostasis (2019)
Journal Article
Chen, A., Husted, S., Salt, D. E., Schjoerring, J. K., & Persson, D. P. (2019). The Intensity of Manganese Deficiency Strongly Affects Root Endodermal Suberization and Ion Homeostasis. Plant Physiology, 181(2), 729-742. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.19.00507

Manganese (Mn) deficiency affects various processes in plant shoots. However, the functions of Mn in roots and the processesinvolved in root adaptation to Mn deficiency are largely unresolved. Here, we show that the suberization of endodermal cells i... Read More about The Intensity of Manganese Deficiency Strongly Affects Root Endodermal Suberization and Ion Homeostasis.

Variation in the BrHMA3 coding region controls natural variation in cadmium accumulation in Brassica rapa vegetables (2019)
Journal Article
Zhang, L., Wu, J., Tang, Z., Huang, X., Wang, X., Salt, D. E., & Zhao, F. (2019). Variation in the BrHMA3 coding region controls natural variation in cadmium accumulation in Brassica rapa vegetables. Journal of Experimental Botany, 70(20), 5865-5878. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erz310

Brassica rapa includes several important leafy vegetable crops with the potential for high cadmium (Cd) accumulation, posing a risk to human health. This study aims to understand the genetic basis underlying the variation in Cd accumulation among B....

Epigenetic regulation of sulfur homeostasis in plants (2019)
Journal Article
Huang, X. Y., Li, M., Luo, R., Zhao, F. J., & Salt, D. E. (2019). Epigenetic regulation of sulfur homeostasis in plants. Journal of Experimental Botany, 70(16), 4171-4182. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erz218

Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms for adaptation to fluctuating availability of nutrients in soil. Such mechanisms are of importance for plants to maintain homeostasis of nutrient elements for their development and growth. The molecular me...

Soil carbonate drives local adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana (2019)
Journal Article
Terés, J., Busoms, S., Perez Martín, L., Luís‐Villarroya, A., Flis, P., Álvarez‐Fernández, A., …Poschenrieder, C. (2019). Soil carbonate drives local adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Plant, Cell and Environment, 42(8), 2384-2398. https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.13567

High soil carbonate limits crop performance especially in semiarid or arid climates. To understand how plants adapt to such soils, we explored natural variation in tolerance to soil carbonate in small local populations (demes) of Arabidopsis thaliana...
