Calcium-activated 14-3-3 proteins as a molecular switch in salt stress tolerance


The ability to cultivate foods with a strong salt tolerance allows for increased grain output in areas of saline-alkali soil. Areas that were previously unable to cultivate grain due to alkaline conditions would become usable land for planting grains with a higher salt tolerance. In this study, technologies such as NMT allowed researchers to monitor the fluxes of Na+ and H+ in and out of live Arabidopsis seedlings. This aided them in describing a detailed model of various protein interactions and activities that help mediate a plant's response to salt stress.
