Time Course of mRNA Induction Elicited by Salt Stress in the Common Ice Plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum).
In the facultative halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (common ice plant), irrigation with solutions containing NaCl induces an alternate mode of carbon dioxide fixation, Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). The salt stress protocol which we have established facilitates the study of CAM induction and the correlation of changes in metabolism and gene expression. We have studied the time cours...
متن کاملSalt Stress Increases the Level of Translatable mRNA for Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.
Mesembryanthemum crystallinum responds to salt stress by switching from C(3) photosynthesis to Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). During this transition the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase) increases in soluble protein extracts from leaf tissue. We monitored CAM induction in plants irrigated with 0.5 molar NaCl for 5 days during the fourth, fifth, and sixth week after germ...
متن کاملExpression of water channel proteins in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.
We have characterized transcripts for nine major intrinsic proteins (MIPs), some of which function as water channels (aquaporins), from the ice plant Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. To determine the cellular distribution and expression of these MIPs, oligopeptide-based antibodies were generated against MIP-A, MIP-B, MIP-C, or MIP-F, which, according to sequence and functional characteristics, ar...
متن کاملSalt Requirement for Crassulacean Acid Metabolism in the Annual Succulent, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.
In experiments with the facultative Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) species, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, only plants which received high levels of inorganic salts fixed substantial amounts of CO(2) by the CAM pathway. Equivalent osmolarities of polyethylene glycol 6000 did not yield any CAM fixation. Plant water potential and turgor pressure had no detectable influence on the amount of CA...
متن کاملExpression during Salt Stress and Nucleotide Sequence of cDNA for Ferredoxin-NADP Reductase from Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.
In the facultative halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (common ice plant) the enzyme ferredoxin-NADP(+)-reductase (FNR) is coded for by a small family of 2 to 3 genes. We have determined the expression characteristics as the plants adapt to high salt and the nucleotide sequence of a full-length cDNA coding for the precursor of this chloroplast-located enzyme. On a developmental scale amount...
