Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Salt stress induced right-handed skewed growth and depolymerization of cortical microtubules in wild-type Arabidopsis seedling roots
- Observation Cortical microtubules depolymerized and then reorganized under salt stress in a long-term observational study
- Intervention effect Stabilization of microtubules with paclitaxel resulted in more seedling death under salt stress
- Observation Seedlings in which cortical microtubules were reorganized did not succumb to salt stress
- Mechanism Both depolymerization and reorganization of cortical microtubules are important for the ability of Arabidopsis to withstand salt stress
- Association Depolymerization of microtubules is followed by an increase in free cytoplasmic calcium concentration
- Intervention effect Removing calcium from the medium abolished the rescue effect of microtubule depolymerization on seedlings
- Intervention effect A calcium channel inhibitor abolished the rescue effect of microtubule depolymerization on seedlings
- Intervention effect Adding calcium to the growth medium increased the number of seedlings in which cortical microtubules recovered
- Intervention effect Removing calcium decreased the number of seedlings in which recovery occurred
- Mechanism Reorganization of cortical microtubules and seedling survival may be mediated by calcium influx in salt stress
