Bio-informatic analysis of a vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter (AlaNHX) from the salt resistant grass Aeluropus lagopoides
AHMED, MUHAMMAD ZAHEER; KIKUCHI, AKIRA; WATANABE, KAZUO N.; KHAN, M. AJMAL ( Pakistan Botanical Society , 2016 , Article)Sodium-hydrogen antiporter (NHX) protein regulates the trans-membrane transport of Na+ in higher plants. Vacuolar- NHX is a type of NHX protein located on tonoplast and minimizes the accumulation of Na+ in cytoplasm by ... -

Roles of Gibberellins and Abscisic Acid in Regulating Germination of Suaeda salsa Dimorphic Seeds Under Salt Stress
Li, Weiqiang; Yamaguchi, Shinjiro; Khan, M. Ajmal; An, Ping; Liu, Xiaojing; Tran, Lam-Son P.... more authors ... less authors ( Frontiers Media , 2016 , Article)Seed heteromorphism observed in many halophytes is an adaptive phenomenon toward high salinity. However, the relationship between heteromorphic seed germination and germination-related hormones under salt stress remains ... -
Salinity inhibits seed germination of perennial halophytes Limonium stocksii and Suaeda fruticosa by reducing water uptake and ascorbate dependent antioxidant system
Hameed, Abdul; Rasheed, Aysha; Gul, Bilquees; Khan, M. Ajmal ( Elsevier B.V. , 2014 , Article)Information about production and detoxification of reactive oxygen species during seed germination of halophytes under saline conditions is scanty. We therefore studied levels of common oxidative stress markers, antioxidant ... -
Transcriptome assembly, profiling and differential gene expression analysis of the halophyte Suaeda fruticosa provides insights into salt tolerance
Diray-Arce, Joann; Clement, Mark; Gul, Bilquees; Khan, M. Ajmal; Nielsen, Brent L. ( BioMed Central , 2015 , Article)Background Improvement of crop production is needed to feed the growing world population as the amount and quality of agricultural land decreases and soil salinity increases. This has stimulated research on salt tolerance ...
