Dec 19, 2017 · Results: In the current study, we screened out a drought inducible aquaporin gene MdPIP1;3, which specifically enhanced its expression during fruit expansion in 'Fuji' apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Red Fuji). It localized on plasma membranes and belonged to …

Jan 3, 2025 · These findings strongly suggest that aquaporin activity plays an important role in controlling water uptake and regulating fruit cracking in grape berries. PIPs are the largest subfamily of aquaporins and are predominantly located in the cytoplasmic membrane.

Dec 19, 2017 · In the current study, we screened out a drought inducible aquaporin gene MdPIP1;3, which specifically enhanced its expression during fruit expansion in ‘Fuji’ apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Red Fuji). It localized on plasma membranes and belonged to …

Nov 30, 2015 · The highly conserved plant aquaporins, known as Plasma membrane Intrinsic Proteins (PIPs), are the main gateways for cell membrane water exchange. Years of research have described in detail the properties of the PIP2 subfamily.

We identified 27 aquaporin members from the genome of the passion fruit. Analyses were performed with respect to evolutionary tree, structural domains, promoter cis-acting elements, and inter-species, and intra-species collinearity.

Apr 24, 2020 · The involvement of aquaporins in rain-induced sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) fruit cracking is an important research topic with potential agricultural applications. In the present study, we performed the functional characterization of PaPIP1;4, the most expressed aquaporin in sweet cherry fruit.

Jul 27, 2010 · In a previous work, the cloning of a strawberry fruit-specific aquaporin, FaPIP1;1, which showed an expression profile associated with fruit ripening was reported. Here, FaPIP2;1, an aquaporin subtype of PIP2 was cloned and its functional characterization in …

Dec 20, 2017 · Water deficit severely reduces apple growth and production and is detrimental to fruit quality and size. Thus, water-efficiency became the major target for apple breeding. Aquaporins control water transport across membranes and can regulate water flow by changing their amount and activity.

Despite the advances in the physiology of fruit ripening, the role and contribution of water pathways are still barely considered. Our aim was therefore to characterize aquaporins, proteins that render the molecular basis for putative regulatory mechanisms in water transport.

Sep 1, 2022 · Melon cracking is a physiopathy that is associated with both internal and external changes by the alteration of the water balance and nutrient homeostasis in the fruit. Aquaporins are channels for water and other small solutes, and they are potentially involved in the regulation of melon cracking.
