Salt stress releases extracellular ATP to activate purinergic signaling and inhibit plant growth
Daewon Kim, Samantha Yanders, Gary Stacey
Abstract
Salt stress increases extracellular ATP levels and the upregulation of P2K1 purinoreceptor transcripts, leading to the activation of purinergic signaling and consequent inhibition of plant growth.
