.... The second is activation of IRE1 and PERK (also known as PEK in flies) downstream of ER stress induced by the absence of amino acids, which needs to be combined with moderate salt stress to induce Sec body formation. SIK, and IRE1 and PERK activation appear to potentiate each other through the stimulation...

... shoots. Here, we have found that ANT plays an essential role in conferring salt tolerance in Arabidopsis . ant -knockout mutants presented a salt-tolerant phenotype, whereas transgenic plants expressing ANT under the 35S promoter ( 35S:ANT ) exhibited more sensitive phenotypes under high salt stress...
