This study shows that salt stress increases urea hydrolysis in Arabidopsis thaliana, raising cytoplasmic pH and inhibiting seed germination and seedling growth, challenging the traditional view of ammonium toxicity as the main cause.

This study identifies GmRALF22 as a low phosphorus-responsive gene regulated by GmPHR1, which enhances phosphate uptake by upregulating phosphate transporter genes in soybean.
