Expression of Water Channel Proteins in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum [PDF]
Abstract 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-

The Expression of an Aquaporin Promoter from Mesembryanthemum crystallinum in Tobacco [PDF]
The promoter region of the MipB gene encoding an aquaporin from Mesembryanthemum crystallinum was isolated and used in a transcriptional fusion to control uidA expression in tobacco. The sequence of the promoter was determined for 2 kb upstream of the translation initiation site.

Changes of phytohormones content in halo- and glycophytes under salinity
Phytohormonal balance changes in plants with contrast salt resistance – glycophyte Phaseolus vulgaris L. and halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. – under salt stress (NaCl) were studied. It was assumed that salt tolerance of M.

Subcellular distribution of the V-ATPase complex in plant cells, and localisation of the 100 kDa subunit VHA-a within the complex [PDF]
Background Vacuolar H+-ATPases are large protein complexes of more than 700 kDa that acidify endomembrane compartments and are part of the secretory system of eukaryotic cells. They are built from 14 different (VHA)-subunits.

The photosynthetic response of tobacco plants overexpressing ice plant aquaporin McMIPB to a soil water deficit and high vapor pressure deficit [PDF]
We investigated the photosynthetic capacity and plant growth of tobacco plants overexpressing ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) aquaporin McMIPB under (1) a well-watered growth condition, (2) a well-watered and temporal higher vapor pressure ...

Extraction and characterization of polysaccharides from Mesembryanthemum crystallinum
Abstract Water-soluble polysaccharides were isolated from Mesembryanthemum crystallinum . Two methods were applied, based (i) on the extraction in hot water (for fresh and dry plants, FP and DP) and (ii) on freeze-thawing of fresh plants (FT).

Exploring the Phytochemical Landscape of the Early-Diverging Flowering Plant Amborella trichopoda Baill. [PDF]
Although the evolutionary significance of the early-diverging flowering plant Amborella (Amborella trichopoda Baill.) is widely recognized, its metabolic landscape, particularly specialized metabolites, is currently underexplored.
