Functional Descriptions:
- Tobacco aquaporin NtAQP1 is involved in mesophyll conductance to CO2in vivo.
- A good candidate for this could be the Nicotiana tabacum L. aquaporin NtAQP1, which was shown to increase membrane permeability to CO2 in Xenopus oocytes.
- NtAQP1 is a member of the plasma membrane aquaporin 1 family (PIP1), which is mercury-insensitive and permeable to water and glycerol, but impermeable to Na+, K+ and Cl−.
- These results provide evidence for the in vivo involvement of aquaporin NtAQP1 in mesophyll conductance to CO2.
