Removal of excess chloride ions by plants when subjected to salt stress - EurekAlert
National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have discovered a salt adaptation mechanism in plants that facilitates chloride removal from the roots and enhancing salinity tolerance. A research team led by Professor Prakash KUMAR from the NUS Department of Biological Sciences has uncovered a novel mechanism of plant adaptation to salt stress involving the NaCl-induced translocation of a specific chloride channel protein, AtCLCf.
