Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and small neutral
molecules across biological membranes of most living organisms. In plants, aquaporins …

Abstract Background Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is an important signaling compound that
has recently been identified as a new substrate for several members of the aquaporin …

The metabolism of aerobic organisms continuously produces reactive oxygen species.
Although potentially toxic, these compounds also function in signaling. One important …

Neurons are metabolically handicapped in the sense that they are not able to perform de
novo synthesis of neurotransmitter glutamate and γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) from glucose …

Aquaporins are channel proteins present in the plasma and intracellular membranes of plant
cells, where they facilitate the transport of water and/or small neutral solutes (urea, boric …

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) belongs to the reactive oxygen species (ROS), known as
oxidants that can react with various cellular targets thereby causing cell damage or even cell …

Background Plants can utilize two major forms of inorganic N: NO3−(nitrate) and NH4+
(ammonium). In some cases, the preference of one form over another (denoted as β) can …

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 function as water and neutral solute channels, signaling hubs, disease virulence
factors, and metabolon components. We consider plant aquaporins that transport ions …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are ubiquitous membrane proteins whose identification, pioneered by
Peter Agre's team in the early nineties, provided a molecular basis for transmembrane water …
