avicennia tonduzii/potassium

Homogenates from the salt-excreting leaves of the mangrove Avicennia nitida were subjected to differential centrifugation and investigated for adenosine triphosphatase activities. At pH 6.75 a salt stimulation with peaks at three different sodium to potassium ratios could be demonstrated above the

Betaine is an important osmoprotectant in many plants, but its transport activity has only been demonstrated using a proline transporter from tomato, a betaine-nonaccumulating plant. In this study, two full-length and one partial transporter genes were isolated from betaine-accumulating mangrove

Potassium transporters play an essential role in maintaining cellular ion homeostasis, turgor pressure, and pH, which are critical for adaptation under salt stress. We identified a salt responsive Avicennia officinalis KUP/HAK/KT transporter family gene, AoKUP2, which has high sequence

Mangroves are unique, and endangered, coastal ecosystems that play a vital role in the tropical and subtropical environments. A comprehensive description of the microbial communities in these ecosystems is currently lacking, and additional studies are required to have a complete understanding of the

Diazotrophic communities make an essential contribution to the productivity through providing new nitrogen. However, knowledge of the roles that both mangrove tree species and geochemical parameters play in shaping mangove rhizosphere diazotrophic communities is still elusive. Here, a comprehensive
