Abstract
The role of root aquaporins in tree response to drought. Wood quantity and quality utilized in forest industry is highly dependent on trees growth conditions. Water availability is among the most limiting factors for forest trees growth. Therefore, considerable research efforts have focused on understanding drought resistance mechanisms in trees. Hydraulic conductivity of plant tissue plays an important role in drought response. Water transport involves a combination of apoplastic, symplastic and transmembrane pathways. Transmembrane movement of water is facilitated by aquaporins, group of membrane channel proteins. Differential expression of aquaporins between plant tissues and in response to abiotic stresses suggest that they play role in maintaining water balance in plants. This review discuss the functions of root aquaporins under drought conditions.
