Article Synopsis
- Acquired osmotolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana is affected by a mutant called aod1, which is sensitive to osmotic stress despite having normal tolerance to salt and oxidative stresses.
- Aod1's phenotype is linked to a mutation in the CONSTITUTIVELY ACTIVATED CELL DEATH 1 (CAD1) gene, which negatively regulates immune responses, suggesting a role in stress tolerance.
- The study indicates that increased immune response and cell death in aod1 under normal conditions hinder its ability to manage osmotic stress, highlighting CAD1's potential function in regulating osmotolerance.
