Journal Article
Ruang-areerate, P., Travis, A. J., Pinson, S. R. M., Tarpley, L., Eizenga, G. C., Guerinot, M. L., …Norton, G. J. (2021). Genome-wide association mapping for grain manganese in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using a multi-experiment approach. Heredity, 126(3), 505-520. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41437-020-00390-w

Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element for plants and commonly contributes to human health; however, the understanding of the genes controlling natural variation in Mn in crop plants is limited. Here, the integration of two of genome-wide assoc... Read More about Genome-wide association mapping for grain manganese in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using a multi-experiment approach.

Coordination between microbiota and root endodermis supports plant mineral nutrient homeostasis (2020)
Journal Article
Salas-González, I., Reyt, G., Flis, P., Custódio, V., Gopaulchan, D., Bakhoum, N., …Castrillo, G. (2021). Coordination between microbiota and root endodermis supports plant mineral nutrient homeostasis. Science, 371(6525), Article eabd0695. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abd0695

Copyright © 2021, American Association for the Advancement of Science. Plant roots and animal guts have evolved specialized cell layers to control mineral nutrient homeostasis. These layers must tolerate the resident microbiota while keeping homeosta... Read More about Coordination between microbiota and root endodermis supports plant mineral nutrient homeostasis.

Full species-wide leaf and seed ionomic diversity of Arabidopsis thaliana (2020)
Working Paper
Campos, A. C. A. L., van Dijk, W. F., Ramakrishna, P., Giles, T., Korte, P., Douglas, A., …Salt, D. E. Full species-wide leaf and seed ionomic diversity of Arabidopsis thaliana

• Soil is a heterogenous reservoir of essential elements needed for plant growth and development. Plants have evolved mechanisms to balance their nutritional needs based on availability of nutrients. This has led to genetically-based variation in the... Read More about Full species-wide leaf and seed ionomic diversity of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Targeted expression of the arsenate reductase HAC1 identifies cell type specificity of arsenic metabolism and transport in plant roots (2020)
Journal Article
Fischer, S., Sánchez-Bermejo, E., Xu, X., Flis, P., Ramakrishna, P., Guerinot, M. L., …Salt, D. E. (2021). Targeted expression of the arsenate reductase HAC1 identifies cell type specificity of arsenic metabolism and transport in plant roots. Journal of Experimental Botany, 72(2), 415-425. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/eraa465

High Arsenic Concentration 1 (HAC1), an Arabidopsis thaliana arsenate reductase, plays a key role in arsenate [As(V)] tolerance. Through conversion of As(V) to arsenite [As(III)], HAC1 enables As(III) export from roots, and restricts translocation of...

Arabidopsis thaliana zinc accumulation in leaf trichomes is correlated with zinc concentration in leaves (2020)
Working Paper
Ricachenevsky, F. K., Punshon, T., Salt, D. E., Fett, J. P., & Guerinot, M. L. Arabidopsis thaliana zinc accumulation in leaf trichomes is correlated with zinc concentration in leaves

Zinc (Zn) is a key micronutrient. In humans, Zn deficiency is a common nutritional disorder, and most people acquire dietary Zn from eating plants. In plants, Zn deficiency can decrease plant growth and yield. Understanding Zn homeostasis in plants c...

Uclacyanin Proteins Are Required for Lignified Nanodomain Formation within Casparian Strips (2020)
Journal Article
Reyt, G., Chao, Z., Flis, P., Salas-González, I., Castrillo, G., Chao, D. Y., & Salt, D. E. (2020). Uclacyanin Proteins Are Required for Lignified Nanodomain Formation within Casparian Strips. Current Biology, 30(20), 4103-4111.e6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2020.07.095

© 2020 The Author(s) Casparian strips (CSs) are cell wall modifications of vascular plants restricting extracellular free diffusion into and out of the vascular system [1]. This barrier plays a critical role in controlling the acquisition of nutrient... Read More about Uclacyanin Proteins Are Required for Lignified Nanodomain Formation within Casparian Strips.

Suberin plasticity to developmental and exogenous cues is regulated by a set of MYB transcription factors (2020)
Working Paper
Shukla, V., Han, J., Cléard, F., Legendre-Lefebvre, L., Gully, K., Flis, P., …Barberon, M. Suberin plasticity to developmental and exogenous cues is regulated by a set of MYB transcription factors

Suberin is a hydrophobic biopolymer that can be deposited at the periphery of cells, forming protective barriers against biotic and abiotic stress. In roots, suberin forms lamellae at the periphery of endodermal cells where it plays crucial roles in...

Barley sodium content is regulated by natural variants of the Na+ transporter HvHKT1;5 (2020)
Journal Article
Houston, K., Qiu, J., Wege, S., Hrmova, M., Oakey, H., Qu, Y., …Waugh, R. (2020). Barley sodium content is regulated by natural variants of the Na+ transporter HvHKT1;5. Communications Biology, 3, Article 258. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-020-0990-5

During plant growth, sodium (Na+) in the soil is transported via the xylem from the root to the shoot. While excess Na+ is toxic to most plants, non-toxic concentrations have been shown to improve crop yields under certain conditions, such as when so...
