Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: GhPIP2|6
• Gene Name: plasma membrane intrinsic protein 2
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• GhPIP2|6|3 interacted with GhPIP2|6|4 and GhPIP2|6|GhPIP2|6, but GhPIP2|6|GhPIP2|6 did not interact with GhPIP2|6|4.
• GhBCP2 (a blue copper-binding protein) inhibited GhPIP2|6|GhPIP2|6 water channel activity through their interaction.
• GhPIP2|6|GhPIP2|6 water channel activities are down-regulated by GhBCP2 protein.
• Overexpression of GhPIP2|6 genes in yeast induced longitudinal growth of the host cells. By contrast, knockdown of expression of GhPIP2|6 genes in cotton by RNA interference markedly hindered fibre elongation.
