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

Although transpiration and aquaporins have long been identified as two key components
influencing plant water status, it is only recently that their relations have been investigated in …

Understanding physiological processes involved in drought‐induced mortality is important
for predicting the future of forests and for modelling the carbon and water cycles. Recent …

Oxygen deprivation commonly affects plants exposed to flooding and soil compaction. The
resulting root hypoxia has an immediate effect on plant water relations and upsets water …

The water status and mineral nutrition of plants critically determine their growth and
development. Nitrate (NO 3–), the primary nitrogen source of higher plants, is known to …

Plant water transport and its molecular components including aquaporins are responsive,
across diverse time scales, to an extremely wide array of environmental and hormonal …

Formation of adventitious roots in plants is a common response to hypoxia caused by
flooding. In tobacco, after one week of root hypoxia treatment, plants produced twice as …

Populus is a valuable and fast‐growing tree species commonly cultivated for economic and
scientific purposes. But most of the poplar species are sensitive to drought and salt stress …

In salt-sensitive plants, root hydraulic conductivity is severely inhibited by NaCl, rapidly
leading to the loss of water balance. However, halophytic plants appear to effectively control …

Key message Defoliation modality significantly affected leaf traits and carbon allocation
