Spatial and developmental reprogramming enables root growth under high salinity in the extremophyte Schrenkiella parvula
High salinity severely restricts root growth in most plants, yet the extremophyte model Schrenkiella parvula maintains growth under otherwise inhibitory conditions through a previously unrecognized developmental reorganization of the primary root. Under high salinity, the elongation zone rapidly reorganizes into two distinct states: the bulged and gap zones. These zones form in response to ionic…
