Effect of Salt Stress on Plants

Caption

Left panel (plants grown on salt): Plants with CC proteins (wild type) grow better on salt containing media than mutant plants, missing the CC genes. Right panel (inside the cell): A view inside the cell under salt stress; plants with CC proteins (wild type) show functional cellulose synthase complexes in the plasma membrane; Plants without CC proteins (mutant) show internalized cellulose synthase complexes which are not active anymore. CC-proteins shown in green, cellulose synthase complexes are shown in red.
