Water Flow in the Roots of Crop Species: The Influence of Root Structure, Aquaporin Activity, and Waterlogging (2007, background): “Gaspar et al. (2003) also found that ZmPIP1;5 transcript varied diurnally, with high expression in the stele and cortex during the day and lower expression during the night.”
Plant aquaporins: membrane channels with multiple integrated functions. (2008, background): “A first link between aquaporins and nitrogen (N) assimilation came from the observation that expression of some aquaporin genes is dependent on N compounds; some genes, such as ZmPIP1;5b, are strongly induced by nitrate (40), whereas others, such as AtTIP2;1, are induced under long-term N starvation”
Identification of 33 rice aquaporin genes and analysis of their expression and function. (2005, background): “ZmPIP2;1 and ZmPIP2;5 showed high water channel activities (Lopez et al. 2003), while ZmPIP1 members had low water channel activities (Chaumont et al. 2000, Gaspar et al. 2003).”
