Regulation of sodium homeostasis is vital for plant responses to salinity. In this study, we characterized two allelic tomato mutants, sodium gatherer1-2 (sga1-2), which show extreme salt sensitivity. The mutants display early severe chlorosis, swelling of aerial parts, and eventual leaf desiccation, leading to plant death.

Therefore, this study aimed to develop a prototype (proof of concept) for an individual-level mobile application (app), informed by Hispanic parents and adolescents, to prevent/reduce drug use and sexual risk behaviors among Hispanic youth.
