Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of an Arabidopsis vacuolar sodium/proton antiporter gene in cotton improves photosynthetic performance under salt conditions and increases fiber yield in the field.
Cixin He,Juqiang Yan,Guoxin Shen,Lianhai Fu,A. Scott Holaday,Dick L. Auld,Eduardo Blumwald,Hong Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: Overexpression of AtNHX1 increases sodium uptake in vacuoles, which leads to increased vacuolar solute concentration and therefore higher salt tolerance in transgenic plants, and indicates that At NHX1 can indeed be used for improving salt stress tolerance in cotton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular ion homeostasis: emerging roles of intracellular NHX Na+/H+ antiporters in plant growth and development
TL;DR: Findings which demonstrate that intracellular NHX antiporters play roles in growth and development, including cell expansion, cell volume regulation, ion homeostasis, osmotic adjustment, pH regulation, vesicular trafficking, protein processing, cellular stress responses, as well as flowering are sought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter cation selectivity is regulated by calmodulin from within the vacuole in a Ca2+- and pH-dependent manner
TL;DR: The results show that the binding of AtCaM15 to AtNHX1 modified the Na(+)/K(+) selectivity of the antiporter, decreasing its Na( +)/H(+) exchange activity, and suggests the presence of signaling entities acting within the vacuole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salinity-induced glutathione synthesis in Brassica napus
Juan M. Ruiz,Eduardo Blumwald +1 more
TL;DR: The induction of cysteine and glutathione synthesis during salt stress in the wild-type plants suggests a possible protective mechanism against salt-induced oxidative damage, and confirms the role of vacuolar Na+ accumulation and ion homeostasis in salt tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant Defense Response to Fungal Pathogens (Activation of Host-Plasma Membrane H+-ATPase by Elicitor-Induced Enzyme Dephosphorylation)
TL;DR: Effects of guanidine nucleotide analogs and mastoparan on the ATPase activity suggested the role of GTP-binding proteins in mediating the putative elicitor-receptor binding, resulting in activation of a phosphatase(s), which in turn stimulates the plasma membrane H+-ATPase by dephosphorylation.
