Membrane intrinsic proteins (MIPs) that facilitate water transport across biological membranes have been identified in many single-and multi-cellular organisms. Starting from an overview about the MIP protein family, common structures of aquaporins are described. A detailed report about tonoplast-an
Transpiration from plants is usually greater than root absorption during daylight hours, causing plant water deficits to develop. The severity of water deficits is influenced by atmospheric factors and by the status of water in soil where roots are growing. When plants experience a large water defic
