Aquaporins are important transmembrane channel proteins required for the transport of
water and nutrients to maintain plant water relations and its survival. The aquaporins have a …

Since the discovery of the first plant aquaporin (AQP) in 1993, our conception of the way
plants control cell water homeostasis as well as their global water balance has been …

Aquaporins form a superfamily of intrinsic channel proteins in the plasma and intracellular
membranes of plant cells. While a lot of research effort has substantiated the importance of …

Stomatal regulation is crucial for forest species performance and survival on drought‐prone
sites. We investigated the regulation of root and shoot hydraulics in three Pinus radiata …

Although transpiration and aquaporins have long been identified as two key components
influencing plant water status, it is only recently that their relations have been investigated in …

Although very often exposed to a rapid changing environment, plants are in general unable
to evade from unfavourable conditions. Therefore, a fine tuned adaptation of physiology …

There is strong evidence that aquaporins are central components in plant water relations.
Plant species possess more aquaporin genes than species from other kingdoms. According …

Aquaporin activity and root anatomy may affect root hydraulic properties under drought
stress. To better understand the function of aquaporins in rice root water fluxes under …

Exchange across biological membranes is controlled by the composition of the lipid bilayer,
diffusion-facilitating channels, and active transport proteins. In 1992, a protein facilitating the …

Aquaporins mediate the movement of water across cell membranes. Plasma membrane
intrinsic protein 2; 5 from Populus trichocarpa× deltoides (PtdPIP2; 5) was previously …
