Western blots for C4 enzymes from soluble proteins extracted from leaves of six Salsola s.l. species, S. abrotanoides, S. deschaseauxiana, S. gymnomaschala, S. verticillata, S. divaricata, S. oppositifolia, and Rhaphidophyton regelii. Blots were probed with antibodies raised against PEPC, PPDK, NAD-ME, and NADP-ME: representative western blots are presented showing detection of each protein. The originals were modified for alignment according to species; there were no selective changes in the mass or densities of bands on the membrane. The molecular mass is indicated to the left of the blots. The table gives a quantitative representation of the western blot data in percentage terms, where 100% refers to the level found in leaves of C4S. oppositifolia.
