PIP1 — Zea mays
Summary
ZmPIP1 (ZM00001EB331830) on maize chromosome 7 encodes an aquaporin family protein with water channel activity and channel activity, localizing to the membrane and plasmalemma. It is associated with water transport, stomatal opening and closure, C4 photosynthesis, nitrate import, lipid transport, endocytosis, and responses to salt and nitrate. The gene is linked to agronomically important traits including drought tolerance, water use efficiency, aluminum tolerance, salinity tolerance, root length, leaf relative water content, leaf water potential, turgor pressure, chlorophyll content, quantum yield, and nitrate uptake.
