A domestication-selected CIPK-MYB-HAK module improves salt tolerance in modern maize.
It is shown that modern maize exhibits markedly greater salt tolerance than its wild progenitor, teosinte, and a domestication-selected CIPK20-MYB28-HAK4 module is uncovered that provides mechanistic insights into the evolutionary trajectory of salt tolerance, and identifies valuable targets for developing salt-resilie...
