摘要: Abstract Aquaporins belong to a superfamily of membrane channels with members in all living organisms. In plants, aquaporins mediate large part the cell‐to‐cell and intracellular water movements. The ability certain plant homologues transport nutrient such as boron or gas CO 2 has recently been demonstrated. This present chapter specifically examines how our current understanding aquaporin structure function can be integrated into whole physiology. Expression studies coupled physiological genetic analyses have allowed delineate variety functions for roots, leaves, during reproduction. addition, molecular cellular mechanisms identified that lead fine regulation transport, development, response environmental stimuli. However, central questions remain, role carbon assimilation, hydraulic control growth cell
