Abstract: | Recent findings concerning the sensitivity of aquaporins to heavy metal
ions and their possible consequences to plant physiology are discussed.
Furthermore, results obtained from heterologous expression of plant
aquaporin cRNAs in Xenopus oocytes are related to the
significance of water flux regulation by modification of the aquaporin
protein or change of gene activity is given and new data concerning the
selectivity of plasma membrane aquaporins are presented.Keywords:
Aquaporin, regulation, specificity, sensitivity to heavy metal
ions.
