Expression and Stress-Dependent Induction of Potassium Channel Transcripts in the Common Ice Plant [PDF]
Abstract We have characterized transcripts for three potassium channel homologs in the AKT/KAT subfamily (Shaker type) from the common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum), with a focus on their expression during salt stress (up to 500 mm NaCl).Mkt1 and 2, Arabidopsis AKT homologs, andKmt1, a KAT homolog, are members of small gene ...

Common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) is a novel edible succulent plant with savory flavor. It has epidermal bladder cells (EBCs) that store water and sodium chloride (NaCl) located on the epidermis of the leaves and stems.

Current Outlook on Ice Encasement Stress and Management Strategies in Turfgrasses
Ice encasement of perennial cool-season turfgrasses is a common problem in many northern regions of the world, and the incidence of ice encasement may increase with climate change.

Halophyte Common Ice Plants: A Future Solution to Arable Land Salinization [PDF]
The problems associated with the salinization of soils and water bodies and the increasing competition for scarce freshwater resources are increasing. Current attempts to adapt to these conditions through sustainable agriculture involves searching for new highly salt-tolerant crops, and wild species that have potential as saline crops are particularly ...

The Expression of HAK-Type K+ Transporters Is Regulated in Response to Salinity Stress in Common Ice Plant [PDF]
Abstract Four transcripts homologous to K+ transporters of the HAK/KT/KUP family have been characterized from the common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum). We report tissue-specific expression of McHAK1 andMcHAK4 transcripts abundant in roots, leaves, and stems.McHAK2 was predominantly present in stems andMcHAK3 in root tissues ...

Antimicrobial peptide expression in a wild tobacco plant reveals the limits of host-microbe-manipulations in the field [PDF]
Plant-microbe associations are thought to be beneficial for plant growth and resistance against biotic or abiotic stresses, but for natural ecosystems, the ecological analysis of microbiome function remains in its infancy.

A family of transcripts encoding water channel proteins: tissue-specific expression in the common ice plant. [PDF]
Seawater-strength salt stress of the ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum) initially results in wilting, but full turgor is restored within approximately 2 days. We are interested in a mechanistic explanation for this behavior and, as a requisite for in-depth biochemical studies, have begun to analyze gene expression changes in roots coincident ...

Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L., a halophytic species, displays modified trichomes, epidermal bladder cells (EBC), on the surfaces of its aerial organs. EBCs serve to sequester excessive salt from underlying metabolically active tissues.
