PIP1 — Zea mays

Summary

ZM00001EB074210 (ZmPIP1) on maize chromosome 2 encodes a protein with aquaporin-like and MIP domains, and is annotated with channel activity, phospholipase D activity, and peptide receptor activity. It is associated with carbon dioxide and urea transport, C4 photosynthesis, nitrate import, hydrogen peroxide membrane transport, and phosphatidic acid metabolism. The gene has been linked to drought sensitivity, leaf water potential, relative water content, root moisture content, turgor pressure, leaf elongation rate, sodium uptake, aluminum tolerance, cadmium concentration, proline content, oleic acid content, bacterial and downy mildew disease responses, brassinosteroid and ethylene sensitivity, and cell elongation and growth traits. It localizes to the plasma membrane, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, chloroplast envelope, and Golgi stack.
