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 …

Plant aquaporins play an important role in water uptake and movement—an aquaporin that
opens and closes a gate that regulates water movement in and out of cells. Some plant …

Almost every plant process is affected directly or indirectly by the water supply, and water
may be considered as a major factor in the regulation of plant growth (Kramer and Boyer …

Uptake of hazardous metal (loid) s adversely affects plants and imposes a threat to the entire
food chain. Here, the role of aquaporins (AQPs) providing tolerance against hazardous …

Engineered nanoparticles including ZnO nanoparticles (nZnO) are important emerging
pollutants in aquatic ecosystems creating potential risks to coastal ecosystems and …

Root and root cell pressure-probe techniques were used to investigate the possible
relationship between Al-or H+-induced alterations of the hydraulic conductivity of root cells …

Zinc (Zn) is considered an essential element with beneficial effects on plant cells; however,
as a heavy metal, it may induce adverse effects on plants if its concentration exceeds a …

Abstract Changes in the water permeability, aquaporin (AQP) activity, of leaf cells were
investigated in response to different heavy metals (Zn 2+, Pb 2+, Cd 2+, Hg 2+). The cell …

The response of four cultivars of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), Yolo Wonder, HDA 103,
HDA 174, and SC 81 to sodium chloride (NaCl) salinity was studied in hydroponic culture by …
