atriplex/carbohydrate

Aspects of osmoregulation were studied in leaves of irrigated and nonirrigated plants of Atriplex hymenelytra (Torr.) Wats. (Chenopodiaceae) from their natural habitat in Death Valley, California. Using a set of several data concentrations of inorganic electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl-) and of oxalate in

The in vivo activity of xanthine dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.2.1.37) was followed in leaf discs excised from illuminated or darkened plants. In cotyledons of Pharbitis nil, 24 hours of darkness enhanced the in vivo activity of xanthine dehydrogenase which increased between 2 to 5-fold depending on the

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses; a total of 3% of the world's land mass is affected by salinity. Approximately 6.3 million hectares of land in Pakistan is affected by salinity to varying degrees, and most of the areas are arid to semiarid with low annual precipitation. The aim of the

Atriplex halimus is a xerohalophyte plant, which could be used as cash crops. This plant was integrated in Tunisian government programs the aim of which is to rehabilitate saline areas and desert. To investigate its strategies involved in salt tolerance, A. halimus was grown hydroponically under
