Plant aquaporins are water channels implicated in various physiological processes, including growth, development and adaptation to stress. In this study, the Tonoplast Intrinsic Protein (TIP) gene subfamily of Eucalyptus, ...

Chemical compounds are useful to perturb biological functions in the same way as classical genetic approaches take advantage of mutations at the DNA level to perturb gene function. The use of bioactive chemicals currently ...

Transgenic tobacco hairy roots expressing the bacterial arsenite efflux pump Acr3 from Ensifer medicae were generated. The gene product was targeted either to the plasma membrane (ACR3 lines) or to the tonoplast by fusing ...

Aquaporins have important roles in various physiological processes in plants, including growth, development and adaptation to stress. In this study, a gene encoding a root-specific tonoplast intrinsic aquaporin (TIP) from ...

Aquaporins have important roles in various physiological processes in plants, including growth, development and adaptation to stress. In this study, a gene encoding a root-specific tonoplast intrinsic aquaporin (TIP) from ...

Summary Filamentous phytopathogens form sophisticated intracellular feeding structures called haustoria in plant cells. Pathogen effectors are likely to play a role in the establishment and maintenance of haustoria in ...

Ammonium (NH4+) stress has multiple effects on plant physiology, therefore, plant responses are complex, and multiple mechanisms are involved in NH4+ sensitivity and tolerance in plants. Root growth inhibition is an important ...

Pollination includes processes where water and/or solute movements must be finely regulated, suggesting participation of aquaporins. Using information available from different transcriptional profilings of Arabidopsis ...
