Atriplex Nummularia (Old Man Saltbush) : A Potential Forage Crop for Arid Regions of Botswana

The Landscape as a Unit for Rangeland Inventory in Arid and Semi-arid Regions of Iran

Severe range degradation was critically extended in many region of Iran and caused many rangelands were restricted and interwoven with croplands in a complex system. Therefore, rangeland planning and inventory as an isolated activity has become almost impossible. Current landscape planning involves contributions of different social organizations often with different interests and with different...

Yield and Forage Quality of Saltbush Irrigated with Reject

Expression of an Atriplex nummularia gene encoding a protein homologous to the bacterial molecular chaperone DnaJ.

DnaJ is a 36-kD heat shock protein that functions together with Dnak (Hsp70) as a molecular chaperone in Escherichia coli. We have obtained a cDNA clone from the higher plant Atriplex nummularia that encodes a 46.6-kD polypeptide (ANJ1) with an overall 35.2% amino acid sequence identity with the E. coli DnaJ. ANJ1 has 43.4% overall sequence identity with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytoplasmic...

Forage Crop Production

An Atriplex nummularia cDNA with Sequence Relatedness to the Algal Caltractin Gene.

Calcium controls numerous cellular processes with a high degree of spatial and temporal precision. One way by which these controls are effected is through the transduction of a Ca2" signal by an interaction of the cation with Ca2"-binding proteins. Among the Ca2"-binding proteins that are presumed to function in the modulation of cellular processes are calmodulin, troponin C, myosin light chain...
