HDC1 Promotes Primary Root Elongation by Regulating Auxin and K⁺ Homeostasis in Response to Low-K⁺ Stress by Xiaofang Kuang, Hao Chen, Jing Xiang, Juan Zeng, Qing Liu, Yi Su, Chao Huang, Ruozhong Wang, Wanhuang Lin, Zhigang Huang

“…HDC1 may regulate root growth by affecting auxin polar transport and subsequent auxin signaling, as evidenced by the altered expression of auxin transport genes. Moreover, the organ-specific RT-qPCR analyses unraveled that HDC1 negatively regulates the expression of CBL-CIPK-K⁺ channel-related genes such as <i>CBL1, CBL2</i>, <i>CBL3</i>, <i>AKT1,</i> and <i>TPK1</i>, thereby establishing a molecular link between histone deacetylation, auxin signaling, and CBLs-CIPKs pathway in response to K⁺ deficiency.…”
