The aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of small, integral membrane proteins that facilitate water
transport across the plasma membranes of cells in response to osmotic gradients. Data from …

Salt stress impacts multiple aspects of plant metabolism and physiology. For instance it
inhibits photosynthesis through stomatal limitation, causes excessive accumulation of …

Aquaporins are channel proteins present in the plasma and intracellular membranes of plant
cells, where they facilitate the transport of water and/or small neutral solutes (urea, boric …

Many fishes are ammonotelic but some species can detoxify ammonia to glutamine or urea.
Certain fish species can accumulate high levels of ammonia in the brain or defense against …

There is plenty of evidence for improved nutrient acquisition by ectomycorrhizas in trees;
however, their role in water uptake is much less clear. In addition to experiments showing …

Background Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and
small neutral molecules across biological membranes of most living organisms. Scope of …

Hyperammonemia can be caused by various acquired or inherited disorders such as urea
cycle defects. The brain is much more susceptible to the deleterious effects of ammonium in …

The crustacean gill is a multi-functional organ, and it is the site of a number of physiological
processes, including ion transport, which is the basis for hemolymph osmoregulation; acid …

Ammonium (NH 4+) toxicity is a significant ecological and agricultural issue, and an
important phenomenon in cell biology. As a result of increasing soil nitrogen input and …

The aquaporin AtPIP2; 1 is an abundant plasma membrane intrinsic protein in Arabidopsis
thaliana that is implicated in stomatal closure, and is highly expressed in plasma …
