Overexpression of a maize plasma membrane intrinsic protein ZmPIP1;1 confers drought and salt tolerance in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Drought and salt stress are major abiotic stress that inhibit plants growth and development, here we report a plasma membrane intrinsic protein ZmPIP1;1 from maize and identified its function in drought and salt tolerance in Arabidopsis.

Constitutive overexpression of soybean plasma membrane intrinsic protein GmPIP1;6 confers salt tolerance. [PDF]
Under saline conditions, plant growth is depressed via osmotic stress and salt can accumulate in leaves leading to further depression of growth due to reduced photosynthesis and gas exchange. Aquaporins are proposed to have a major role in growth of plants via their impact on root water uptake and leaf gas exchange.

Plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) are one subfamily of aquaporins that mediate the transmembrane transport of water. To reveal their function in poplar, we generated transgenic poplar plants in which the translation of PIP genes was downregulated by RNA interference investigated these plants with a comprehensive leaf plasma membrane proteome ...

A Plasma Membrane Intrinsic Protein Gene OfPIP2 Involved in Promoting Petal Expansion and Drought Resistance in Osmanthus fragrans. [PDF]
Osmanthus fragrans, a native to China, is renowned as a highly popular gardening plant. However, this plant faces significant challenges from drought stress, which can adversely affect its flowering. In this study, we found that the plasma membrane-localized gene OfPIP2 exhibited a substantial upregulation during the flowering stages and in response to

SummaryPlasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) are known to be major facilitators of the movement of a number of substrates across cell membranes. From a drought‐resistant cultivar of Oryza sativa (rice), we isolated an OsPIP1;3 gene single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that is mostly expressed in rice roots and is strongly responsive to drought ...

Water relations and an expression analysis of plasma membrane intrinsic proteins in sensitive and tolerant rice during chilling and recovery [PDF]
A symptom of chilling injury is development of water deficit in shoots, resulting from an imbalance of water transport and transpiration. In this work, two rice varieties (Oryza sativa L. var. Wasetoitsu and Somewake) seedlings were chilled at 7 degrees C, followed by recovery at 28 degrees C. Based on the growth phenotype and electrolyte leakage tests,

Plasma Membrane Intrinsic Proteins of Beta vulgaris L [PDF]
The plasma membrane (PM) of higher plants contains numerous proteins; however, due to their low abundance, only a few have been identified and characterized by direct biochemical approaches. The major intrinsic protein (MIP) family is a class of highly hydrophobic integral membrane proteins thought to function as channels that facilitate the passage of

Identification of New Intrinsic Proteins in Arabidopsis Plasma Membrane Proteome [PDF]
Identification and characterization of anion channel genes in plants represent a goal for a better understanding of their central role in cell signaling, osmoregulation, nutrition, and metabolism. Though channel activities have been well characterized in plasma membrane by electrophysiology, the corresponding molecular entities are little documented ...
