New Publication!

Dear Backers,

The results from this crowd funded project are published! If you want me to send you the PDF of the accepted version, drop me a line. It is not the final, proofed version, as there were minor typos and edits that needed to be corrected. Note that in the acknowledgments sections I explicitly mention this website!

Again, thanks a bunch to all my backers for your support, without which this work would not have been possible.

About This Project

Salt is dangerous to most plants, as it quickly disrupts their ionic homeostasis and their physiology. Most studies on plant adaptation to soil salinisation focus on the root, the part of the plant directly exposed to the salt. However, my recent recent work shows that application of salt to the roots induce long-distance electrical signals that quickly travel to the leaves via the phloem. These data open new questions regarding the role of systemic electrical signals in salt adaptation.
