Influence of anti- and prooxidants on rhizogenesis from hypocotyls of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. cultured in vitro [PDF]
Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2017 The enrichment with antioxidants (glutathione or ascorbate) or prooxidants (alloxan, methylviologen, hydrogen peroxide) of root inducing medium significantly decreased rhizogenesis frequency (alloxan, hydrogen peroxide) or inhibited roots regeneration ...

CAM-related changes in chloroplastic metabolism of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. [PDF]
Planta, 2011 Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is an intriguing metabolic strategy to maintain photosynthesis under conditions of closed stomata. A shift from C(3) photosynthesis to CAM in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum plants was induced by high salinity (0.4 M NaCl).

Population Genetics Reveals the Invasion Pathways of <i>Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum</i> in North America. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMesembryanthemum nodiflorum is a species of ice plant native to South Africa that has become invasive in California and Mexico. The present study used RADseq data to run a population genetics analysis to match the invasive populations to those in the native and introduced ranges of the Mediterranean.
