Overexpression of a Panax ginseng tonoplast aquaporin alters salt tolerance, drought tolerance and cold acclimation ability in transgenic Arabidopsis plants

Water movement across cellular membranes is regulated largely by a family of water channel proteins called aquaporins (AQPs). Since several abiotic stresses such as, drought, salinity and freezing, ...

Synthesis and trafficking of the tonoplast potassium channel AtTPK1

Sorting signals of tonoplast proteins and the pathway they follow through the endomembrane system are still poorly characterized. Using Brefeldin A (an inhibitor of the Golgi-mediated traffic) we ...

Abscisic acid prevents the coalescence of protein storage vacuoles by upregulating expression of a tonoplast intrinsic protein gene in barley aleurone

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 66, No. 5 (2015), pp. 1191-1203 (13 pages) Tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs) are integral membrane proteins that are known to function in plants as aquaporins.

Plant Vacuoles and the Regulation of Stomatal Opening

How do plants breathe through stomata? Key regulators of stomata are plant vacuoles, fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast. Plant vacuoles are fluid-filled organelles ...
