Background Plants are unavoidably subjected to various abiotic stressors, including high
salinity, drought and low temperature, which results in water deficit and even death. Water …

Aquaporins play an essential role in regulating the water balance in plants. We compared
responses between Malus prunifolia (Willd.) Borkh., a reputedly drought-tolerant rootstock …

The plant plasma membrane intrinsic protein, PIP1b, facilitates water transport. These
features were characterized in Xenopus oocytes and it has asked whether aquaporins are …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are believed to act as “cellular plumbers”, allowing plants to rapidly alter
their membrane water permeability in response to environmental cues. This study of AQP …

Using an original methodological and technical approach, we studied the real-time
dynamics of radial water transfer in roots and transpiration rate in intact maize plants in …

Water transport in plants is greatly dependent on the expression and activity of water
transport channels, called aquaporins. Here, we have clarified the tissue-and cell-specific …

It has long been recognized that inhibition of plant water transport by either osmotic stress or
salinity is mediated by aquaporins (AQPs), but the function and regulation of AQPs are …

Although it is widely accepted that aquaporins are involved in the regulation of root water
uptake, the role of specific isoforms in this process is poorly understood. The mRNA …

Root hydraulic conductivity in plants (L pr) exhibits large variations in response to abiotic
stimuli. In this study, we investigated the impact of dynamic, aquaporin-mediated changes of …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are universal membrane integrated water channel proteins that
selectively and reversibly facilitate the movement of water, gases, metalloids, and other …
