TL;DR: It is shown that the protein encoded by ORE20/PHO36 (YOL002c), a seven transmembrane domain receptor-like polypeptide that regulates lipid and phosphate metabolism, is an osmotin binding plasma membrane protein that is required for full sensitivity to osmoton.

TL;DR: Altered metabolite partitioning was evidenced by an increase in the soluble sugars and soluble nitrogen in adapted cells which occurred at the expense of incorporation of sugar into cell walls and nitrogen into protein.

TL;DR: Many species have become conscripted for studies in plant biology, with the choices usually driven by considerations such as genetic potential, developmental complexity, or biochemical exclusivity or by a combination of these features.

TL;DR: This work focuses on gene expression analysis following exposure of plants to high salinity, using salt-shock experiments to mimic stresses that affect hydration and ion homeostasis and generates insertional mutants that affect stress tolerance in several organisms.

TL;DR: The results indicate that plant salt stress adaptation involves ER stress signal regulation of cell cycle progression, and that the pivotal and specific protein glycosylation that is a necessary for recovery from the unfolded protein response and forcell cycle progression during salt/osmotic stress recovery is associated uniquely with the function of the STT3a isoform.
