SUMMARY
In this study, we analyzed the proteinic response of the plants Atriplex halimus L.
five months old, under a saline mode made up of NaCl and of a mixture of NaCl+CaCl
2,
withe 400meq and 800meq. In this experimentation, the plants are also led under hydrous
stress with 30 % et 60% holding capacity of the ground, during nine days of treatment.
Soluble proteins extracted starting from the sheets, stems and roots are analyzed by the
method of BRADFORD and by electrophoresis SDS-PAGE.
The analyses conclude that during the application of the stress, contents of soluble
proteins of the plants of Atriplex halimus L. vary according to the body and the nature of
the treatment applied. As for the electrophoretic separation of proteins soluble, a variation
is observed in each profile with the increase or the reduction in the number as well as the
intensity of the proteinic bands determined by their presence or their absence according to
the saline or hydrous mode applied.
Analyses of soluble proteins by the method of BRADFORD show that, under the
various treatments as well saline as hydrous, the accumulation of soluble proteins occurs
mainly on the level of the sheets. On the other hand the roots always present the contents
of definitely low soluble proteins compared to those of the air parts.
The analyses of soluble proteins by electrophoresis show that for the plants
nourished with the nutritive solution, the rate of polymorphism reached 50% at the sheets
contrary to the stems and the roots where it is null. Saline treatment NaCl with 400 meq,
present the smallest percentages of the similarities is a rate of 10% for the sheets whereas it
is cancelled for the stems and the roots compared to the same bodies of the pilot plants.
The most important rates of polymorphism are obtained for the sheets of the plants
receiving the saline treatment with 800 meq of NaCl (60%) and with 400 meq (33.33%).
Saline treatment with NaCl + CaCl
2
with 800 meq show the most similarity with
the pilot plants where it reaches 50% in the sheets, stems and roots. As for proteinic
polymorphism it is expressed only on the levels of the sheets of the treated plants with 400
meq (20%) and with 800 meq (50%) of NaCl + CaCl
2.
Hydrous 30% treatment of the holding capacity of the ground, present the proteinic
profiles torates of similarity closest to those to the pilot plants, is 50% for the sheets, stems
and roots. The polymorphism of the proteinic bands is to only express on the level of the
sheets; this rate passes of 33.33% for the stressed plants with 60% % of capacity of the
retention of the ground 66.66% for the treated plants with 30% of capacity of the retention
of the ground.
