Soil Bacteria Confer Plant Salt Tolerance by Tissue-Specific Regulation of the Sodium Transporter <i>HKT1</i>

Elevated sodium (Na + ) decreases plant growth and, thereby, agricultural productivity. The ion transporter high-affinity K + transporter (HKT)1 controls Na + import in roots, yet dysfunction or overexpression of HKT1 fails to increase salt tolerance, raising questions as to HKT1's role in regulatin...
