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

Salinity stress is considered the most devastating abiotic stress for crop productivity.
Accumulating different types of soluble proteins has evolved as a vital strategy that plays a …

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 …

In this review, we provide a brief synopsis of the evolution and functional diversity of the
aquaporin gene superfamily in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Based upon the latest …

Aquaporins are channel proteins that function to increase the permeability of biological
membranes. In plants, aquaporins are encoded by multigene families that have undergone …

Water homeostasis is crucial to the growth and survival of plants under water-related stress.
Plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) have been shown to be primary channels …

Aquaporins are tetrameric membrane-bound channels that facilitate transport of water and
other small solutes across cell membranes. In eukaryotes, they are frequently regulated by …

The function of aquaporin (AQP) protein in transporting water is crucial for plants to survive
in drought stress. With 47 homologues in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) were reported, but …

The highly conserved plant aquaporins, known as Plasma membrane Intrinsic Proteins
(PIPs), are the main gateways for cell membrane water exchange. Years of research have …

Plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) are aquaporins facilitating the diffusion of water
through the cell membrane. We previously showed that the traffic of the maize (Zea mays) …
