Enhanced H+ transport activity of tonoplast vesicles isolated from roots of salt-tolerant mutant of wheat under NaCl stress

Both enhanced were H⁺ transport activities of tonoplast vesicles isolated from roots of the salt-tolerant mutant and wild type of wheat with treatment of NaCl, but the activity of the mutant was significantly higher than that of wild type. H⁺ transport activity was indicated as the stable value of fluorescence quenching per mg membrane proteins. The H⁺ transport activities dependent on ATP of the mutant and wild type were 1099 and 558 respectively and their activities dependent on PPi were 358 and 228 separately.
