Optimizing germination in Atriplex nummularia (Lind.) for commercial cultivation

Expression of Osmotin-Like Genes in the Halophyte Atriplex nummularia L.

A peptide (molecular mass 50 kilodaltons) that is immunologically related to tobacco osmotin was detected in cells of the halophyte Atriplex nummularia. This protein was constitutively expressed in both unadapted and NaCl-adapted cells. A predominant osmotin-like peptide (molecular mass 24 kilodaltons) was also found in culture media after cell growth. Two unique A. nummularia cDNA clones, pA8 ...

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...

استفاده از Atriplex nummularia در تغذیه بز و گوسفند

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...

Optimizing Seed Germination and Growth of Seedlings in Persian Walnut

The efficiency of conventional stratification methods for seed germination of walnut (Juglans regia L.), which uses long moist-chilling periods, is low. This experiment was conducted during winter to spring 2014 to optimize the seed germination of walnut ‘Chandler’ via changing growing media and removing seed mechanical dormancy. Fourteen treatments were tested. None of the seeds germi...
