Characterization of two plasma membrane protein 3 genes (PutPMP3) from the alkali grass, Puccinellia tenuiflora, and functional comparison of the rice homologues, OsLti6a/b from rice

Analysis of Functions of VIP1 and Its Close Homologs in Osmosensory Responses of Arabidopsis thaliana

“…The BiFC constructs (nYFP and cYFP constructs) and the pBS-35SMCS-GFP constructs were used for transient expression experiments using onion cells, while the pBI121-35SMCS-GFP constructs were used for Arabidopsis transformation. Onion epidermal cells were transformed by particle bombardment as previously described [25]. Arabidopsis transformation was performed as described above.…”

Salt tolerance of halophytes, research questions reviewed in the perspective of saline agriculture

“…Thus far, there are no indications from the literature that any structural differences between orthologous halophyte and glycophyte proteins would yield significantly different contributions to the host's salt tolerance, as long as their encoding genes are expressed under the same promoter. On the contrary, in comparisons available so far, halophyte transgene cDNAs do not appear to confer more salt tolerance than their glycophyte orthologs (e.g., Chang-Qing et al, 2008;Li et al, 2008;. It is obviously much more likely that halophytes achieved their superior tolerance through alteration of the expression patterns of particular genes (e.g.…”

Role of the Plasma Membrane in Saline Conditions: Lipids and Proteins

“…Many studies demonstrated alterations of the PM proteome in plant species/genotypes contrasting in salt sensitivity under saline conditions (Singh et al, 1985;Hurkman et al, 1988Hurkman et al, , 1989Kononowicz et al, 1994;Kerkeb et al, 2001;Goncalo et al, 2003;Salama et al, 2007;Katz et al, 2007;Sengupta & Majumder, 2009;Zamani et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2012b;Huang et al, 2012;Mansour, 2013).

“…The PM proteins of salt tolerant yeast were also increased under NaCl stress, relative to control cells, which was considered as an adaptive response to high salinity (Hosono, 1992). Furthermore, Chang-Qing et al (2008) demonstrated that salt stress induced two PM protein 3 genes (PutPMP3) from Puccinella tenuiflora, which have been found to be involved in tolerance to salinity. Malakshah et al (2007) similarly identified eight PM proteins that responded to salt stress.…”
