Aquaporins (AQPs) are believed to act as “cellular plumbers”, allowing plants to rapidly alter
their membrane water permeability in response to environmental cues. This study of AQP …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are channel-forming integral membrane proteins that facilitate the
movement of water and many other small molecules. Compared to animals, plants contain a …

Plasma membrane vesicles isolated by two-phase partitioning from the storage root of Beta
vulgaris show atypically high water permeability that is equivalent only to those reported for …

Prolonged soil moisture deficit poses major threat to plant survival. Plants have evolved to
withstand such condition by maintaining water status through adoptive mechanisms. Such …

A quaporins (AQPs) were discovered as channels facilitating water movement across
cellular membranes. Whereas much of the research has focused on characterizing AQPs …

The effects of low root temperature on growth and root cell water transport were compared
between wild-type Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and plants overexpressing plasma …

Tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs), belonging to the aquaporin family, are transmembrane
channels located mostly at the tonoplast of plant cells. The TIPs are known to transport water …

The hydraulic properties of plant roots depend on the morphology and anatomy of the root
system, the length of the absorbing region and the influence of aquaporins (AQPs). These …

Plants have evolved to cope with fluctuations in water supply by gating their water channels
known as aquaporins. During flooding, a rapid drop of cytosolic pH due to anoxia leads to a …

Aquaporins facilitate water transport across biomembranes in a manner dependent on
osmotic pressure and water-potential gradient. The discovery of aquaporins has facilitated …
