The effect of salinity and osmotic stress on protein synthesis was studied in cowpea Rhizobium 4a. Osmotic component of salinity stress has been shown to induce ten proteins in a salt tolerant/ osmosensitive cowpea Rhizobium. 4a (groundnut isolate). Of these seven polypeptides were induced only by salt/osmotic stress while two were induced by heat shock. The results demonstrate a commonality as well as stress specificity of protein synthesis regulation.
