Transcriptomic and physiological insights into auxin-mediated root growth and potassium uptake in tobacco under low-potassium stress
Our study revealed that potassium deficiency impairs root development and uptake in tobacco and that auxin is critical in mitigating this stress. This study highlights the regulatory function of auxin in enhancing root growth and potassium absorption under low potassium conditions, offering insights into the molecular mechanisms of potassium stress response.
