and take over the discipline. If we want to make sure that the biology of the future preserves our hard-won biological perspectives, knowledge and insights, we need to be able to do the analyses and deal with all these data ourselves. For young scientists embarking on a PhD, make sure your PhD topic is something you love, and that your question is one whose answer you care deeply about. Don’t s...
متن کاملOn the pH regulation of plant aquaporins.
The majority of plants are unable to evade unfavorable conditions such as flooding, salinity, or drought. Therefore, a fine-tuned water homeostasis appears to be of crucial importance for plant survival, and it was assumed that aquaporins play a significant role in these processes. Regulation of plant aquaporin conductivity was suggested to be achieved by a gating mechanism that involves protei...
متن کاملHeteromerization of Plant Aquaporins
The discovery of plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) heterotetramerization has opened a new field of research. This phenomenon was first observed between PIPs belonging to two phylogenetic groups (PIP1 and PIP2) with ubiquitous expression in different plant tissues. These isoforms present few differences in their primary sequence but show major differences in their functionality when expres...
متن کاملAquaporins in plants.
Although very often exposed to a rapid changing environment, plants are in general unable to evade from unfavourable conditions. Therefore, a fine tuned adaptation of physiology including the water balance appears to be of crucial importance. As a consequence a relatively large number of aquaporin genes are present in plant genomes. So far aquaporins in plants were shown to be involved in root ...
متن کاملAquaporins and Glia
Glial cells coordinate the differentiation, metabolism, and excitability of neurons; they modulate synaptic transmission and integrate signals emanating from neurons and other glial cells. Several evidences underlying the relation between these pathways and the regulatory mechanisms of ion concentration, supporting the role of Aquaporins (AQPs) in these processes. The goal of this review is to ...
