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 …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are universal membrane integrated water channel proteins that
selectively and reversibly facilitate the movement of water, gases, metalloids, and other …

In this study, the effect of melatonin on the postharvest ripening and quality improvement of
tomato fruit was carried out. The tomatoes were immersed in exogenous melatonin for 2h …

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

Sweet cherry is a valuable non-climacteric fruit with elevated phytonutrients, whose fruit
quality attributes are prone to rapid deterioration after harvest, especially peel damage and …

Abstract Background Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) establishes a beneficial symbiosis
with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The formation of the mycorrhizal association in the …

Vitis vinifera scions are commonly grafted onto rootstocks of other grape species to influence
scion vigour and provide resistance to soil-borne pests and abiotic stress; however, the …

Melatonin has been implicated in the regulation of ripening in several types of climacteric
fruits, but its role in apple is poorly understood. In this study, the effectiveness of melatonin in …

Postharvest deterioration of ginger rhizome caused by microorganisms or wound infections
causes significant economic losses. Fusarium solani is one of the important causal agents of …

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 …
