NaCl regulation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase gene expression in the
glycophyte tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. var Wisconsin 38) and the
halophyte Atriplex nummularia L. was evaluated by comparison of
organ-specific mRNA abundance using homologous cDNA probes encoding the
ATPases of the respective plants. Accumulation of mRNA was induced by NaCl
in fully expanded leaves and in roots but not in expanding leaves or stems.
The NaCl responsiveness of the halophyte to accumulate plasma membrane
H+-ATPase mRNA in roots was substantially greater than that of the
glycophyte. Salt-induced transcript accumulation in A. nummularia roots was
localized by in situ hybridization predominantly to the elongation zone,
but mRNA levels also increased in the zone of differentiation. Increased
message accumulation in A. nummularia roots could be detected within 8 h
after NaCl (400 mM) treatment, and maximal levels were severalfold greater
than in roots of untreated control plants. NaCl-induced plasma membrane
H+-ATPase gene expression in expanded leaves and roots presumably indicates
that these organs require increased H+-electrochemical potential gradients
for the maintenance of plant ion homeostasis for salt adaptation. The
greater capacity of the halophyte to induce plasma membrane H+-ATPase gene
expression in response to NaCl may be a salt-tolerance determinant.
