Title of the talk: Developmental Plasticity Under Salinity: Reprogramming Root Development and Floral Transitions

Research Lab: https://rootsinsalt.com

Research Focus: Water deficit and salt stress are two major environmental stresses for plants. Salt decreases crop yield and as soil salinity increases worldwide, this causes a problem for agriculture. Luckily, plants can adapt their growth to environmental conditions. In our lab, we are investigating the responses of plants to salinity stress and water deficit from different angles.
