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

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 …

Stomatal movements in response to environmental stimuli critically control the plant water
status. Although these movements are governed by osmotically driven changes in guard cell …

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 …

Background Carbon nanotubes have been shown to improve the germination and growth of
some plant species, extending the applicability of the emerging nano-biotechnology field to …

Plants take up iron from the soil using the IRON-REGULATED TRANSPORTER 1 (IRT1)
high-affinity iron transporter at the root surface. Sophisticated regulatory mechanisms allow …

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 are membrane channels that facilitate water movement across cell membranes.
In plants, aquaporins contribute to water relations. Here, we establish a new link between …

Aquaporins facilitate the uptake of soil water and mediate the regulation of root hydraulic
conductivity (L pr) in response to a large variety of environmental stresses. Here, we use …

Nitrogen and phosphorus are among the most widely used fertilizers worldwide. Nitrate
(NO3−) and phosphate (PO43−) are also signalling molecules whose respective …
