Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: HvPIP1;6
• Gene Name: plasma membrane intrinsic protein
• Genome: MorexV3_pseudomolecules_assembly
• Species: Hordeum vulgare

Functional Descriptions:

• HvPIP1;6;HvPIP1;6, a Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Plasma Membrane Water Channel Particularly Expressed in Growing Compared with Non-Growing Leaf Tissues.
• Expression of HvPIP1;6;HvPIP1;6 was highest in the elongation zone, where it accounted for >85% of expression of known barley PIP1s. Within the elongation zone, faster grower regions showed higher expression than slower growing regions.
• Expression of HvPIP1;6;HvPIP1;6 was confined to the epidermis, with some expression in neighboring mesophyll cells. Expression of HvPIP1;6;HvPIP1;6 in Xenopus laevis oocytes increased osmotic water permeability 4- to HvPIP1;6-fold.
• The developmental expression profile of HvPIP2;1, the only known barley water channel belonging to the PIP2 subgroup, was opposite to that of HvPIP1;6;HvPIP1;6.
