Leaf carbohydrates influence transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of nocturnal carboxylation and starch degradation in the facultative CAM plant, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.

Only registered users can translate articles

Nocturnal degradation of transitory starch is a limiting factor for the optimal function of crassulacean acid metabolism and must be coordinated with phosphoenolypyruvate carboxylase (PEPC)-mediated CO2 uptake to optimise carbon gain over the diel cycle. The aim of this study was to test the

Carbohydrate partitioning in crassulacean acid metabolism plants: reconciling potential conflicts of interest

Only registered users can translate articles

This paper originates from a presentation at the IIIrd International Congress on Crassulacean Acid Metabolism, Cape Tribulation, Queensland, Australia, August 2001. The construction of diel leaf carbon budgets, together with analyses of the δ¹³C composition of biochemical fractions, was

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, carbohydrate partitioning, and crassulacean Acid metabolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F 2,6-P(2)) was detected in the CAM species, Ananas comosus and Bryophyllum tubiflorum, and in C(3)- and CAM-Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. In both Mesembryanthemum tissues, F 2,6-P(2) was located outside the chloroplast. The levels of F 2,6-P(2), malate, starch, or

Transport of Phosphoenolpyruvate by Chloroplasts from Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. Exhibiting Crassulacean Acid Metabolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

Chloroplasts from CAM-Mesembryanthemum crystallinum can transport phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) across the envelope. The initial velocities of PEP uptake in the dark at 4 degrees C exhibited saturation kinetics with increasing external PEP concentration. PEP uptake had a V(max) of 6.46 (+/-0.05)

The influence of inorganic phosphate on photosynthesis in intact chloroplasts from Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. plants exhibiting C3 photosynthesis or crassulacean acid metabolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

Intact chloroplasts were obtained from mesophyll protoplasts isolated from Mesembryanthemum crystallinum in the C3 or Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthetic mode, and examined for the influence of inorganic phosphate (Pi) on aspects of bicarbonate-dependent O2 evolution and CO2 fixation.

Increased expression of a gene coding for NAD:glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase during the transition from C3 photosynthesis to crassulacean acid metabolism in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.

Only registered users can translate articles

We utilized differential plaque hybridization to identify three cDNA clones for transcripts which increase in abundance during the salinity-induced transition from C3 photosynthesis to crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. Although there are differences in the

A CAM- and starch-deficient mutant of the facultative CAM species Mesembryanthemum crystallinum reconciles sink demands by repartitioning carbon during acclimation to salinity.

Only registered users can translate articles

In the halophytic species Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, the induction of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) by salinity requires a substantial investment of resources in storage carbohydrates to provide substrate for nocturnal CO(2) uptake. Acclimation to salinity also requires the synthesis and

Protein profiling of epidermal bladder cells from the halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.

Only registered users can translate articles

Plant epidermal trichomes are as varied in morphology as they are in function. In the halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, specialized trichomes called epidermal bladder cells (EBC) line the surface of leaves and stems, and increase dramatically in size and volume upon plant salt-treatment.

Characterization of a salt-responsive 24-kilodalton glycoprotein in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.

Only registered users can translate articles

A concanavalin A (Con A)-binding polypeptide with a molecular mass of 24 kD (termed "SRgp24") was associated with the intercellular space of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. callus. When callus was grown in medium containing between 0 and 100 mM NaCl, SRgp24 was detected by Con A binding. Increasing

Early salt stress effects on the changes in chemical composition in leaves of ice plant and Arabidopsis. A Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy study.

Only registered users can translate articles

A technique based on Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry was developed to detect the corresponding changes in chemical composition associated with the rapid changes in sodium and water content in 200 mM NaCl-stressed halophyte ice plants (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum). The changes in

Pattern of antioxidant enzyme activities and hydrogen peroxide content during developmental stages of rhizogenesis from hypocotyl explants of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.

CONCLUSIONS H2O2 is necessary to elicit rhizogenic action of auxin. Activities of specific catalase and manganese superoxide dismutase forms mark roots development. Hypocotyl explants of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum regenerated roots on medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Explants

Studies on samh seeds (Mesembryanthemum forsskalei Hochst) growing in Saudi Arabia: 2: Chemical composition and microflora of samh seeds.

Only registered users can translate articles

The chemical composition of samh seeds have been investigated. Proximate analysis showed a composition of 22.25% protein, 5.7% moisture, 5.6% fat, 4.0% ash, 9.7% crude fiber, and the remainder being total carbohydrates. Mineral element analysis revealed that potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium

Effect of Traditional Processing on the Nutritional Quality and in vivo Biological Value of Samh (Mesembryanthemum forsskalei Hochst) Flour.

Roasting improved the determined protein and carbohydrate content of the flour compared to raw flour (p < 0.05). Baking enhanced the determined moisture and ash content of the flour compared to all treatments (p < 0.05). Similar amino acid content was found in both raw and treated flours with

Intracellular transport and pathways of carbon flow in plants with crassulacean acid metabolism

Only registered users can translate articles

The massive daily reciprocal transfer of carbon between acids and carbohydrates that is unique to crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) involves extensive and regulated transport of metabolites between chloroplasts, vacuoles, the cytosol and mitochondria. In this review of the CAM pathways of carbon
