  3. 2. The role of WRKY 15 in xylem development and salt response in Arabidopsis thaliana

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Johanna Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : WRKY15; VND; xylem; salinity; water availability;

    Abstract : Xylem is a water-conducting tissue in vascular plants, that absorbs water from the roots and distributes it throughout the compartments, providing the plant with essential water and nutrients for its cellular processes. The xylem, divided into protoxylem and metaxylem, develops differently according to the various abiotic circumstances, in which transcription factors have a crucial role. READ MORE
