Aquaporin Water Channels (2004, background): “…35 different aquaporin genes, and these are presumed to participate in different physiological processes, including photosynthesis with carbon dioxide passing through leaf aquaporins (Uehlein et al., 2003) and restriction of rootlet water uptake regulated by low pH (Tournaire-Roux et al., 2003).”
Raising yield potential of wheat. II. Increasing photosynthetic capacity and efficiency. (2011, background): “It has been suggested that aquaporins may be involved in modulating membrane permeability to CO 2 and that permeability could be manipulated by altering levels of these proteins (Uehlein et al., 2003, 2008).”
CO2 concentrating mechanisms in algae: mechanisms, environmental modulation, and evolution. (2005, background): “It is possible (192) that, as with other systems (28, 127), including some photosynthetic ones (197), CO2 diffusion into the cells occurs through aquaporins that are possibly similar to the bacterial Aqpz (35).”
Prospects for crop production under drought: research priorities and future directions (2005, background): “The former can be achieved through a Rubisco with increased specificity for CO2.”
Keeping a positive carbon balance under adverse conditions: responses of photosynthesis and respiration to water stress (2006, background): “…some observations suggesting that fine and rapid regulation of mesophyll conductance to CO2 in response to varying environmental conditions could be related to the expression and/or regulation of plasma membrane aquaporins (Flexas et al. unpublished data, Hanba et al. 2004, Uehlein et al. 2003).”
Identification of 33 rice aquaporin genes and analysis of their expression and function. (2005, background): “…recently that some types of plant aquaporin could transport not only water but also various small molecules such as glycerol, urea (Maurel et al. 2002, Gaspar et al. 2003, Liu et al. 2003), ammonia (Niemietz and Tyerman 2000, Loqué et al. 2005) and CO 2 (Uehlein et al. 2003, Hanba et al. 2004).”
Mesophyll conductance to CO2: current knowledge and future prospects. (2008, background): “Uehlein et al. (2003) demonstrated that tobacco aquaporin NtAQP1 facilitates trans-membrane CO2 transport by expression in Xenopus oocytes.”
Guard Cell Signal Transduction Network: Advances in Understanding Abscisic Acid, CO2, and Ca2+ Signaling (2010, background): “Recent research on the chloroplast membrane, however, has demonstrated that aquaporins function in transmembrane CO2 transport for photosynthesis (33, 186, 187).”
Extreme climatic events: impacts of drought and high temperature on physiological processes in agronomically important plants (2014, background): “The white pixels at 30L/30D/5L were caused by a leaf temperature above 30◦C. membranes and must be considered as important players in the response of plants to abiotic stresses (Uehlein et al., 2003; Katsuhara and Hanba, 2008).”
Physiology and molecular biology of stress tolerance in plants (2006, background): “…fluid and chloroplast envelopes lower CO 2 concentrations around RuBisCO to approximately 7 µM during active photosynthesis (von Caemmerer and Evans, 1991; Noctor et al., 2002), even with the aid of aquaporins for quick diffusion at plasma membranes (Terashima and Ono, 2002; Uehlein et al., 2003).”
Water Flow in the Roots of Crop Species: The Influence of Root Structure, Aquaporin Activity, and Waterlogging (2007, background): “…et al. AQPs varies considerably, with some isoforms having very low water permeability, while others are also permeable to small nonelectrolytes, such as CO2, glycerol (aquaglyceroporins), boric acid, and urea (Biela et al., 1999; Dordas et al., 2000; Liu et al., 2003; Uehlein et al., 2003).”
