Summary Nodulin 26‐like intrinsic proteins (NIPs) play essential roles in transporting the nutrients silicon and boron seed plants, but evolutionary origin of this transport function co‐permeability to toxic arsenic remains enigmatic. Horizontal gene transfer a yet uncharacterised bacterial AqpN‐aquaporin group was starting‐point for plant NIP evolution. We combined intense sequence, phylogenetic genetic context analyses mutational approach with various assays oocytes plants resolve...
Aquaporins (AQPs) are tetrameric channel proteins regulating the transmembrane flux of small uncharged solutes and in particular water living organisms. In plants, members plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) AQP subfamily important for maintenance plant status through control cell tissue hydraulics. The PIP is subdivided into two groups: PIP1 PIP2 that exhibit different water-channel activities when expressed Xenopus oocytes or yeast cells. Most isoforms physically interact assemble...
Summary The sophisticated uptake and translocation regulation of the essential element boron (B) in plants is ensured by two transmembrane transporter families: Nodulin26‐like Intrinsic Protein ( NIP ) BOR family. Though agriculturally important crop Brassica napus highly sensitive to B deficiency, s have been suggested be responsible for efficiency this species, functional information these subfamilies extremely rare. Here, we molecularly characterized 1 family European winter‐type cv....
Aquaporins (AQPs) are essential channel proteins that regulate plant water homeostasis and the uptake distribution of uncharged solutes such as metalloids, urea, ammonia carbon dioxide. Despite their importance crop plants, little is known about AQP gene protein function in cabbage (Brassica oleracea) other Brassica species. The recent releases genome sequences B. oleracea rapa allow comparative genomic studies these species to investigate evolution features genes proteins. In this study, we...
