Aquaporins in Plants.

open access: yesPhysiological Reviews, 2015
Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and small neutral molecules across biological membranes of most living organisms. In plants, aquaporins occur as multiple isoforms reflecting a high diversity of cellular localizations, transport selectivity, and regulation properties.

Plant aquaporins alleviate drought tolerance in plants by modulating cellular biochemistry, root-architecture and photosynthesis.

Physiologia Plantarum : An International Journal for Plant Biology, 2021
Water is a vital resource for plants to grow, thrive and complete their life cycle. In recent years, drastic changes in the climate, especially drought frequency and severity, have increased, which reduces agricultural productivity worldwide.

Plant Aquaporins: a frontward to make crop plants drought resistant.

Physiologia Plantarum : An International Journal for Plant Biology, 2021
Drought stress alters gene expression and causes cellular damage in crop plants. Drought inhibits photosynthesis by reducing the content and the activity of the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle, ultimately decreasing the crop yield.

Mechanosensitive aquaporins

Biophysical Reviews, 2023
Cellular systems must deal with mechanical forces to satisfy their physiological functions. In this context, proteins with mechanosensitive properties play a crucial role in sensing and responding to environmental changes. The discovery of aquaporins (AQPs) marked a significant breakthrough in the study of water transport.

Aquaporins

Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry, 1998
Aquaporins (AQP) are members of the major intrinsic protein superfamily of integral membrane proteins, which function as specialized water channels to facilitate the passage of water through the cell membrane in animals, plants and bacterias. Ten AQP homologues named from 0 to 9 have been clones so far in mammals.

Plasma membrane aquaporins PIPs act in concert to regulate cold acclimation and freezing tolerance responses in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2020
Aquaporins play a major role in plant water uptake at both optimal and environmentally stressed conditions. However, the functional specificity of aquaporins under cold remains obscure.

Epithelial aquaporins

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1998
The past year has brought significant advances in our understanding of the involvement of aquaporins in the regulation of water balance. Besides the identification of new mammalian aquaporins, highlights include the progress in our understanding of their cell-biological regulation and their roles in physiology and pathophysiology as deduced from ...

Aquaporin Inhibitors

2023
Aquaporins (AQP) working as membrane channels facilitated water transport, play vital roles in various physiological progress including cell migration, energy metabolism, inflammation, etc. They are quite important drug targets, but elusive for discovery due to their undruggable properties.

Plant aquaporins

Physiologia Plantarum, 2002
Aquaporins are ubiquitous membrane channel proteins that facilitate and regulate the permeation of water across biological membranes. Aquaporins are members of the MIP family and some of them seem to be also able to transport other molecules such as urea or glycerol.

Aquaporin gating

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2006
An acceleration in the rate at which new aquaporin structures are determined means that structural models are now available for mammalian AQP0, AQP1, AQP2 and AQP4, bacterial GlpF, AqpM and AQPZ, and the plant SoPIP2;1. With an apparent consensus emerging concerning the mechanism of selective water transport and proton extrusion, emphasis has shifted ...
