Patellin1 negatively regulates plant salt tolerance by attenuating nitric oxide accumulation in Arabidopsis

Abstract

Salt stress adversely affects plant growth and development. Multiple adaptive mechanisms have been used for plant salt tolerance. We previously reported that membrane trafficking-related protein patellin1 (PATL1) negatively regulates plant salt tolerance. Here, we characterized that Arabidopsis PATL1 negatively modulates nitric oxide (NO) accumulation upon salt exposure. Our work revealed a functional link between salt response and NO signaling.
