Developmental and environmental regulation of Aquaporin gene expression across Populus species: divergence or redundancy?

Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane channels belonging to the major intrinsic proteins family and are known for their ability to facilitate water movement. While in Populus trichocarpa, AQP proteins form a large family encompassing fifty-five genes, most of the experimental work focused on a few genes or...

Developmental and environmental regulation of Aquaporin gene expression across Populus species: divergence or redundancy?
description Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane channels belonging to the major intrinsic proteins family and are known for their ability to facilitate water movement.
