Posttranscriptional and posttranslational control of enolase expression in the facultative Crassulacean acid metabolism plant Mesembryanthemum Crystallinum L.
During the induction of Crassulacean acid and metabolism by environmental stresses in the common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.), enzyme activities involved in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, including enolase (2-phospho-D-glycerate hydrolase), increase significantly. In this study, we describe two nearly identical cDNA clones (Pgh1a and Pgh1b) encoding enolase from the common ice ...
متن کاملSalt Requirement for Crassulacean Acid Metabolism in the Annual Succulent, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.
In experiments with the facultative Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) species, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, only plants which received high levels of inorganic salts fixed substantial amounts of CO(2) by the CAM pathway. Equivalent osmolarities of polyethylene glycol 6000 did not yield any CAM fixation. Plant water potential and turgor pressure had no detectable influence on the amount of CA...
متن کاملStarch degradation in chloroplasts isolated from C3 or CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism)-induced Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.
C3 or crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM)-induced Mesembryanthemum crystallinum plants perform nocturnal starch degradation which is linear with time. To analyse the composition of metabolites released by isolated leaf chloroplasts during starch degradation we developed a protocol for the purification of starch-containing plastids. Isolated chloroplasts from C3 or CAM-induced M. crystallinum pla...
متن کاملA novel methyl transferase induced by osmotic stress in the facultative halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.
Molecular mechanisms of osmotic stress tolerance were studied in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (ice plant), a facultative halophyte capable of adjusting to and surviving in highly saline conditions. We screened a subtracted cDNA library enriched for salt stress-induced mRNAs to identify transcripts involved in this plant's adaptation to salinity. One mRNA, Imt1, was found to be up-regulated in ...
متن کاملEnvironment or development? Lifetime net CO2 exchange and control of the expression of Crassulacean acid metabolism in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.
The relative influence of plant age and environmental stress signals in triggering a shift from C(3) photosynthesis to Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in the annual halophytic C(3)-CAM species Mesembryanthemum crystallinum was explored by continuously monitoring net CO(2) exchange of whole shoots from the seedling stage until seed set. Plants exposed to high salinity (400 mm NaCl) in hydropo...
