The plasma membrane forms a permeable barrier that separates the cytoplasm from the
external environment, defining the physical and chemical limits in each cell in all organisms …

High-scored premium wines are typically produced under moderate drought stress,
suggesting that the water status of grapevine is crucial for wine quality. Aquaporins greatly …

A MIP (Major Intrinsic Protein) subfamily called Uncharacterized Intrinsic Proteins (XIP) was
recently described in several fungi and eudicot plants. In this work, we cloned a XIP from …

Ethylene enhances latex flow and latex regeneration in rubber trees. The physiological
regulation of ethylene-stimulated latex flow mainly involves processes such as alleviating …

Abstract Major Intrinsic Proteins (MIP) are a family of channels facilitating the diffusion of
water and/or small solutes across cellular membranes. X Intrinsic Proteins (XIP) form the …

Leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) and capacitance (Cleaf) are among the key parameters
in plant-water regulation. Understanding the responses of these hydraulic traits to drought …

Cellular aquaporin water channels (AQPs) constitute a large family of transmembrane
proteins present throughout all kingdoms of life, playing important roles in the uptake of …

Aquaporins (AQPs) play essential roles in various physiological processes by regulating the
transport of water and various uncharged small solutes, like carbon dioxide, urea, and …

Drought is an adverse environmental factor for plant growth and development. Aquaporins
play an influential role in water uptake and transport in plants. However, the function of …

The major intrinsic protein (MIP) superfamily is a key part of the fungal transmembrane
transport network. It facilitates the transport of water and low molecular weight solutes across …
