The Common Ice Plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.)–Phytoremediation Potential for Cadmium and Chromate-Contaminated Soils [PDF]

Plants, 2020
The common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) is a widely studied model due to its tolerance to numerous biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, carried out in model pots, the plants were treated with variant doses of Cd(II) and Cr(VI) and ...

Effects of NaCl on the response of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum callus to Botrytis cinerea infection

Biologia Plantarum, 2011
Callus of the halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum was used to study the effect of NaCl on the response to Botrytis cinerea infection. The fungus easily colonized the callus surface and the intercellular spaces.

Growth parameters, phytochemicals, and antitumor activity of wild and cultivated ice plants (<i>Mesembryanthemum crystallinum</i> L.). [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
The ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) is a halophyte that could become an alternative crop because of its interest as a functional food and its adaptation to high‐saline soils. In this work, leaves from wild ice plants were compared with their

Ion accumulation and expression of ion homeostasis-related genes associated with halophilism, NaCl-promoted growth in a halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.

Plant Production Science, 2020
A halophyte, the common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.), shows the maximal growth under salinity, in which almost all crops die. The NaCl-stimulated growth, which is referred to as halophilism, is an important trait for adaptation to ...

Genome-wide identification, molecular evolution, and expression analysis of the bHLH gene family in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum

Vegetable Research
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) play crucial regulatory roles in plant responses to abiotic stress. However, their molecular evolution and functions in facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants, Mesembryanthemum ...

Development and Characterization of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. Extract-Loaded Phytosomes for Enhanced Delivery of Antioxidant Compounds [PDF]

Life
M. crystallinum is an edible halophytic succulent plant rich in phenolic compounds with potential pharmaceutical applications. However, it is known that these phytocompounds generally present low absorption, which hinders their direct use in formulations.

Effect of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum and its derived D‐pinitol on HMG‐CoA reductase and tyloxapol‐induced hyperlipedemia

eFood
Several previous research indicate that treating Mesembryanthemum crystallinum may aid in reducing adipogenesis and triacylglycerol level and improving hyperglycemia and diabetes. Therefore, the present study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of
