Mesembryanthemum
A plant genus of the family AIZOACEAE. It is a native of Africa and widely planted for erosion control to stabilize soil along roadsides and beaches.
Ephrins
Signaling proteins that are ligands for the EPH FAMILY RECEPTORS.

Many of the ephrins are considered important intercellular signaling molecules that control morphogenic changes during embryogenesis.
