The Roles of Aquaporins in Plant Stress Responses
Journal of Developmental Biology, 2016 Aquaporins are membrane channel proteins ubiquitously present in all kingdoms of life. Although aquaporins were originally discovered as water channels, their roles in the transport of small neutral solutes, gasses, and metal ions are now well ...

Plasma membrane vesicles from cauliflower meristematic tissue and their role in water passage
BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) inflorescences are composed mainly of meristematic tissue, which has a high cellular proliferation. This considerable cellular density makes the inflorescence an organ with a large proportion of
