AQP1 — Glycine max

Summary

GmAQP1 (GLYMA_03G185900V4) on soybean chromosome 3 encodes an aquaporin, a water channel protein belonging to the major intrinsic protein (MIP) family, with water channel activity and general channel activity. It localizes to the vacuolar membrane (tonoplast) and is associated with water transport, vacuole organization, seed maturation and development, seed germination, leaf development, cell maturation, nitrogen fixation, calcium signaling, and response to salt stress. The gene is also linked to chlorophyll content, drought tolerance, and the SALTTL trait. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to water absorption by seed.
