When illuminated, washed cell suspensions of Ectothiorhodospira halophila carry out a concentrative uptake of glutamate or proline. Dark-exposed cells accumulate glutamate but not proline. Proline transport was strongly inhibited by carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), a proton permeant
Proline accumulation is one of the most common responses of plants to environmental constraints. Thellungiella halophila/salsuginea, a model halophyte, accumulates high levels of proline in response to abiotic stress and in the absence of stress. Recently, lipid signaling pathways have been shown to
The eco-physiology of salt tolerance, with an emphasis on K(+) nutrition and proline accumulation, was investigated in the halophyte Thellungiella halophila and in both wild type and eskimo-1 mutant of the glycophyte Arabidopsis thaliana, which differ in their proline accumulation capacity. Plants
Salt-sensitive glycophytes and salt-tolerant halophytes employ common mechanisms to cope with salinity, and it is hypothesized that differences in salt tolerance arise because of changes in the regulation of a basic set of salt tolerance genes. We explored the expression of genes involved in two key
Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance was used to assign the 1H and 13C resonances of ferrocytochrome c-551 from Ectothiorhodospira halophila, a halophilic phototrophic purple bacterium. This 78-residue protein belongs to a small subgroup of class I cytochromes c together with the analogous
The physiological responses of the lactic acid bacteria Pediococcus pentosaceus and Tetragenococcus halophila (formely known as P. halophila), subjected to osmotic stress in the presence of molecules known to act as osmoprotectants for other bacteria were studied. In a defined medium, glycine
Thellungiella halophila was treated with different concentrations of NaCl (0, 50, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mmol/L). Water content, osmotic potential, various organic and inorganic osmotica contents in the leaves and roots were determined and the calculated osmotic potential (COP) of osmotica in the
This study investigated the growth, physiological changes, and the transcript levels of NHX1 gene of Iris halophila in response to low NaCl concentration (50 mM) and high NaCl concentration (150 mM). Our results showed that both 50 and 150 mM NaCl had no obvious negative effects on plant growth;

An inorganic pyrophosphorylase gene, ThPP1 , modulated the accumulations of phosphate and osmolytes by up-regulating the differentially expression genes, thus enhancing the tolerance of the transgenic rice to alkali stress (AS). Inorganic pyrophosphorylase is essential in catalyzing the
Thellungiella halophila and Arabidopsis thaliana were irrigated with medium containing NaCl at various concentrations. The salt treatment resulted in a restriction of rosette biomass deposition in both species. In A. thaliana leaves, this inhibition was stronger than for T. halophila and was
Thellungiella halophila, a close relative of Arabidopsis, is a model halophyte used to study plant salt tolerance. The proteomic/physiological/transcriptomic analyses of Thellungiella plant leaves subjected to different salinity levels, reported herein, indicate an extraordinary ability of
To explain the higher tolerance of Thellungiella to abiotic stress in comparison to Arabidopsis, several studies have focused on differences in ion absorption and gene expression. However, little is known about hormone regulation and metabolic responses. In this work, plants of both species were
