Deskripsi
Most crops are farmed under high transpiring environments, but our understanding of transpiration-dependent salt tolerance (TDST) remains limited. Here, the authors report a dirigent family protein is responsible for TDST by affecting lignin deposition at Casparian strip barrier and transportation of Na+ across the endodermis.
