  • Title: Plant aquaporins: new perspectives on water and nutrient uptake in saline environment.
    Author: del Martínez-Ballesta MC, Silva C, López-Berenguer C, Cabañero FJ, Carvajal M.
    Journal: Plant Biol (Stuttg); 2006 Sep; 8(5):535-46. PubMed ID: 16865658.
    Abstract:
    The mechanisms of salt stress and tolerance have been targets for genetic engineering, focusing on ion transport and compartmentation, synthesis of compatible solutes (osmolytes and osmoprotectants) and oxidative protection. In this review, we consider the integrated response to salinity with respect to water uptake, involving aquaporin functionality. Therefore, we have concentrated on how salinity can be alleviated, in part, if a perfect knowledge of water uptake and transport for each particular crop and set of conditions is available.
