Regulation of root water uptake under abiotic stress conditions. (2012, background): “Researchers consistently report a decline of L under drought conditions (Nobel and Cui, 1992; Rieger, 1995; North et al., 2004; Trifilo et al., 2004; Aroca et al., 2006, 2008b; YX Gao et al., 2010).”
An overview of plant responses to soil waterlogging (2008, background): “In fact, downregulation of aquaporin genes is commonly associated with a decline in root Lp as aquaporins control radial water movement in the roots (North et al. 2004; Vandeleur et al. 2005).”
Water Flow in the Roots of Crop Species: The Influence of Root Structure, Aquaporin Activity, and Waterlogging (2007, background): “Measurements of the radial hydraulic conductivity after removal of tissue layers and application of mercury demonstrated the varying activity of AQPs in different regions of roots of cacti and desert succulents (Martre et al., 2001; Water Flow Through Roots 167 North et al., 2004).”
