Abstract:
... Aquaporins (AQPs) are one of the most ancient superfamily proteins, which are essential for maintaining the fluid homeostasis of most organisms against various environments. Here, the latest findings for function of AQPs in cell signal transduction in plants are summarized. We also put forward several issues that still need to be addressed in the future. ...

Abstract:
... The application of nanoparticles (NPs) has been shown to be a very effective technology for increasing plant yield. Their use in agriculture has been associated with the reduction of fertilization, but their effectiveness depends on the concentrations applied, physiochemical properties, and plant species. Nevertheless, one of the most common reported effects, independently on the type of NPs, is t ...

Abstract:
... Aquaporins (AQPs) transport water molecules across cell membranes. Although most aquaporins are inhibited by mercury ions, AQP6 was reported to be activated by binding mercury ions to residues C155 and C190. Different from C190 and the other pore-line cysteine residues, C155 is located outside the pore, thus not directly affecting the internal pathway by mercury binding to it. The molecular mechan ...

Abstract:
... Plant PIP aquaporins play a central role in controlling plant water status. The current structural model for PIP pH‐gating states that the main pH sensor is located in loopD and that all the mobile cytosolic elements participate in a complex interaction network that ensures the closed structure. However, the precise participation of the last part of the C‐terminal domain (CT) in PIP pH gating rema ...

Aquaporins are channels for water and other small solutes, and they are potentially involved in the regulation of melon cracking. In this work, we studied the mineral concentration and expression of all aquaporins in non-cracked an ...

To investigate its potential osmoregulation, we conducted experiments in F. cancrivora and F. multistriata. The results showed that F. cancrivora made use of ions (such as Na⁺ and Cl⁻) to increase intracellular concentra ...

The correct cryopreservation procedure is characterized by the balance between freezing rate and cryoprotective agents (CPAs), which minimizes cellular dehydration and intracellular ice formation. For this purpose, osmoregulation is a central process ...
