Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and small neutral
molecules across biological membranes of most living organisms. In plants, aquaporins …

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 are membrane channel proteins ubiquitously present in all kingdoms of life.
Although aquaporins were originally discovered as water channels, their roles in the …

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

Aquaporins are pore-forming transmembrane proteins that facilitate the movement of water
and many other small neutral solutes across the cells and intracellular compartments. Plants …

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

The family of aquaporins, also called water channels or major intrinsic proteins, is
characterized by six transmembrane domains that together facilitate the transport of water …

Frequent and intense drought episodes impact agricultural productivity by challenging plant
water status. The maintenance of hydraulic conductivity plays a key role in deciphering …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are primarily involved in maintaining cellular water homeostasis. Their
role in diverse physiological processes has fascinated plant scientists for more than a …

Aquaporin isoforms have distinct functions, and show differential responses to stress
conditions among different plant species. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the functions of …
