Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation HG2-N1 cells have elevenfold higher chlorophyll content than the salt-sensitive HG2 line.
- Intervention effect Growth in 1% NaCl gave a further twofold increase in chlorophyll levels.
- Association Salt response was associated with large increases in rbcS mRNA.
- Observation Rubisco holoenzyme activity increased substantially.
- Association Salinity-induced Rubisco protein increase is highly responsive to light and correlated with salt tolerance.
- Intervention effect NaCl stimulated rbcL and rbcS mRNA and Rubisco accumulation in dark-grown salt-tolerant cells.
- Intervention effect PS II electron transport inhibitors significantly reduced growth of the cell line in salt but not without salt.
- Mechanism Salt-induced accumulation of photosynthesis mRNA and protein may contribute to the salt tolerance of HG2-N1.
