Plant aquaporins constitute a large family of proteins involved in facilitating the transport of
water and small neutral molecules across biological membranes. In higher plants they are …

Aquaporins (AQPs), a class of channel forming integral membrane proteins, play a vital role
in the transport of water and many other small solutes in most living organisms. In higher …

Plant water transport and its molecular components including aquaporins are responsive,
across diverse time scales, to an extremely wide array of environmental and hormonal …

▪ Abstract The mechanisms of plant membrane water permeability have remained elusive
until the recent discovery in both vacuolar and plasma membranes of a class of water …

Aquaporins of the plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) subfamily are channels which
facilitate the diffusion of water across the plant plasma membrane (PM). Although PIPs have …

Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and small neutral
molecules across biological membranes of most living organisms. Plant aquaporins …

The molecular functions of several aquaporins are well characterized (eg, by analysis of
aquaporin-expressing Xenopus oocytes). However, their significance in the physiology of …

Although the discovery of aquaporins in plants has resulted in a paradigm shift in the
understanding of plant water relations, the relationship between aquaporins and plant …

Abiotic stress has become a challenge to food security due to occurrences of climate change
and environmental degradation. Plants initiate molecular, cellular and physiological …

Recent advances concerning genetic manipulation provide new perspectives regarding the
