Plant salt-tolerance mechanisms (2014, unknown): “This phenotype was defined as halotropism and is not induced by osmotic stress but by salt-triggered auxin responses [41].”
PIN-Dependent Auxin Transport: Action, Regulation, and Evolution (2015, unknown): “Halotropism is a recently described tropic response, wherein roots grow away from high salt concentrations (Galvan-Ampudia et al., 2013).”
The FERONIA Receptor Kinase Maintains Cell-Wall Integrity during Salt Stress through Ca2+ Signaling (2018, unknown): “The efflux carrier PIN2-mediated redistribution of auxin results in reorientation of the root tip away from the saline environment [4].”
Elucidating the molecular mechanisms mediating plant salt-stress responses. (2018, unknown): “To achieve this, clathrin-mediated internalization of PIN2 at the side of the root in contact with a higher salt concentration occurs, and this requires salt-induced phospholipase D activity (Galvan-Ampudia et al., 2013).”
