Description
Xiaolei Wu and co-authors study how a signaling molecule helps tomatoes endure salt in a 2025 plant science paper. Spraying or feeding plants gamma-aminobutyric acid, GABA, raises salt tolerance, but which genes carry the effect during sustained stress, and how the pathways cooperate, was murky.
Comparing gene activity and metabolites across thirty-three leaf samples under salty conditions, the team found the GABA-treated group clearly toughest. Its advantage ran through amino acid production and transport, including GABA itself, and through a pigment pathway switched on after phenylalanine built up. A gene that makes GABA, SlGAD1, was singled out and functionally verified.
