TONOPLAST NA+/H+ ANTIPORT ACTIVITY AND ITS ENERGIZATION BY THE VACUOLAR H+-ATPASE IN THE HALOPHYTIC PLANT MESEMBRYANTHEMUM-CRYSTALLINUM L

Tonoplast vesicles were isolated from leaf mesophyll tissue of the inducible Crassulacean acid metabolism plant Mesembryanthemum crystallinum to investigate the mechanism of vacuolar Na+ accumulation in this halophilic species. In 8-week-old plants exposed to 200 HIM NaCI for 2 weeks, tonoplast H+-A...
