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 universal membrane integrated water channel proteins that
selectively and reversibly facilitate the movement of water, gases, metalloids, and other …

About 20% of all irrigated land is adversely affected by salinity hazards and therefore
understanding plant defense mechanisms against salinity will have great impact on plant …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer vesicles actively secreted by cells, that
contain a variety of functional nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, and are important mediums …

Tonoplast Intrinsic Proteins (TIP) are plant aquaporins that are primarily localized in the
tonoplast and play a role in the bidirectional flux of water and other substrates across a …

Aquaporins are important transmembrane channel proteins required for the transport of
water and nutrients to maintain plant water relations and its survival. The aquaporins have a …

Land plants have evolved with a complex mechanism of water uptake facilitated by the
activity of aquaporins under normal and challenging environments. However, we lack a …

Background Drought is a major environmental stress that affects crop productivity worldwide.
Although previous research demonstrated links between strigolactones (SLs) and drought …

In rice (Oryza sativa), the PLASMA MEMBRANE INTRINSIC PROTEIN (PIP) family of
