Possible Interaction: Betaine and Sodium Chloride

“ Glycine betaine stabilizes the pseudoknot tertiary structure in 135 mm NaCl and facilitates only a minor destabilization of tertiary structure in 40 mm NaCl.”

“These results suggest the observed synergism is mediated by the osmoprotective effects of glycine betaine and the inhibitory effect of sodium chloride or glucose against the aminoglycoside.”

“ Betaine , an organic osmolyte, can also protect against the deleterious effects of relatively high concentrations of NaCl.”

“ NaCl stress had a negative effect on plant growth parameters, including plant height, leaf area, leaf water potential, and total nitrogen (N) in the shoot and roots, which were improved by supplementation with 5.0 mM GB or 1.0 mM SA.”

“… GB greatly increased … of NaCl and also showed beneficial effects on most traits at 600 mM. Application of CH showed positive effects only on leaf firing and …. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that P. distans can tolerate high levels of salt stress, which can be best alleviated by GB treatment.”

“However, in the presence of choline or glycine betaine , it increased between 2 and 4.5% NaCl before declining at 5% NaCl and above.”

“Evans Blue staining experiment showed that both proline and betaine significantly suppressed increment of membrane permeability induced by 200mM NaCl.”

“Cells grown at 4 M NaCl accumulated extremely high concentrations of glycine betaine as a compatible solute.”

“Cells grown at 4 M NaCl accumulated extremely high concentrations of glycine betaine as a compatible solute.”

“Although Na+ by itself contributed only for a small part to OA, NaCl induced an increase in proline concentration and stimulated the synthesis of glycinebetaine in response to PEG in photosynthetic tissues.”
