Plant growth and development are dependent on tight regulation of water movement. Water
diffusion across cell membranes is facilitated by aquaporins that provide plants with the …

Protons dictate the charge and structure of macromolecules and are used as energy
currency by eukaryotic cells. The unique function of individual organelles therefore depends …

Mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO2 is a key photosynthetic trait that has been studied
intensively in the past years. The intention of the present review is to update knowledge of …

Foliage photosynthetic and structural traits were studied in 15 species with a wide range of
foliage anatomies to gain insight into the importance of key anatomical traits in the limitation …

Spontaneous solute and solvent permeation through membranes is of vital importance to
human life, be it gas exchange in red blood cells, metabolite excretion, drug/toxin uptake, or …

CO2 faces a series of resistances while diffusing between the substomatal cavities and the
sites of carboxylation within chloroplasts. The absence of techniques to measure the …

A distinguishing phenotype of solid tumors is the presence of an alkaline cellular feature
despite the surrounding acidic microenvironment. This phenotypic characteristic of tumors …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as a new and important member in the group of
gaseous signaling molecules. However, the molecular transport mechanism has not yet …

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) has been traditionally considered to be a toxic molecule for
mammals. However, it can be formed endogenously and exert physiological effects with …

The carbonic anhydrases enzymes (CAs, EC 4.2. 1.1) are zinc containing metalloproteins,
which efficiently catalyse the reversible conversion of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and …
