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

Playing a key role in plant growth and development, leaves need to be continuously
supplied with water and carbon dioxide to fulfil their photosynthetic function. On its way …

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 (AQP) are channel proteins belonging to the Major Intrinsic Protein (MIP)
superfamily that play an important role in plant water relations. The main role of aquaporins …

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 …

In plants, aquaporins (AQP) occur in multiple isoforms in both plasmalemma and tonoplast
membranes resulting in regulation of water flow in and out of cells, and ultimately, water …

Prolonged soil moisture deficit poses major threat to plant survival. Plants have evolved to
withstand such condition by maintaining water status through adoptive mechanisms. Such …

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

Aquaporins (AQPs) are channel proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small
solutes across biological membranes. In plants, AQPs exhibit a high multiplicity of isoforms …

Drought stress alters gene expression and causes cellular damage in crop plants. Drought
inhibits photosynthesis by reducing the content and the activity of the photosynthetic carbon …
