• Gene Symbol: Rh-PIP2|1
• Gene Name: plasma membrane aquaporin
• Genome:
• Species: Rosa hybridaa

Functional Descriptions:

• Rh-PIP2|1|Rh-PIP2|1, a Rose Aquaporin Gene, Is Involved in Ethylene-Regulated Petal Expansion.
• Here, we report the isolation of a plasma membrane aquaporin (PIP) gene, Rh-PIP2|1|Rh-PIP2|1, and characterized its potential role in ethylene-inhibited petal expansion.
• The transcripts of Rh-PIP2|1|Rh-PIP2|1 are highly abundant in petal epidermal cells, especially in the abaxial subepidermal cells. The expression of Rh-PIP2|1|Rh-PIP2|1 is highly correlated with petal expansion and tightly down-regulated by ethylene.
• We argue that Rh-PIP2|1|Rh-PIP2|1 plays an important role in petal cell expansion and that ethylene inhibits petal expansion of roses at least partially by suppressing Rh-PIP2|1|Rh-PIP2|1 expression.
