casuarina collina/proline

Twigs of Casuarina were collected from Dongshan and Xiamen Island, China. Crude plasma membrane preparation was obtained from Casuarina twigs by ultra-centrifugation. Sealed plasma membrane vesicles were isolated with aqueous PEG3350-Dextran T500 two phase partitioning. We studied the proline

It is predicted that dryland salinity will affect up to 17 Mha of the Australian landscape by 2050, and therefore, monitoring the health of tree plantings and remnant native vegetation in saline areas is increasingly important. Casuarina glauca Sieber ex Spreng. has considerable salinity tolerance

Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing associations between Casuarina trees and the actinobacteria Frankia are widely used in agroforestry in particular for salinized land reclamation. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of salinity on the establishment of the actinorhizal symbiosis between C.

Melaleuca cuticularis and Casuarina obesa occur in wetlands, whereas Banksia attenuata occurs in adjacent well-drained sandy soils. Salt and waterlogging tolerances in these tree species were studied, as the levels of these stresses have increased in south-western Australia. Seedlings were exposed

There is emerging evidence for the phytotoxicity of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM), however its sources, transformations and ecological effects in aquatic ecosystems are poorly understood. DOM characterization by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has typically involved
