Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-15"> <span style='color: rgb(28, 29, 30); font-family: "Open Sans", icomoon, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;'> Developing a robust root system is crucial to plant survival and competition for soil resources. Here we report that the non&hyphen;specific phospholipase C 5 (NPC5 ) and its derived lipid mediator diacylglycerol (DAG ) mediate lateral root (LR ) development during salt stress in&nbsp; </span> <i style='color: rgb(28, 29, 30); font-family: "Open Sans", icomoon, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;'> A&nbsp;rabidopsis thaliana&nbsp; </i> <span style='color: rgb(28, 29, 30); font-family: "Open Sans", icomoon, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;'> .

These results indicate that NPC 5 mediates LR development in response to salt stress and suggest that DAG functions as a lipid mediator in the stress signalling. </span></div>
