Overexpression of a barley aquaporin gene, HvPIP2;5 confers salt and osmotic stress tolerance in yeast and plants

We characterized an aquaporin gene HvPIP2;5 from Hordeum vulgare and investigated its physiological roles in heterologous expression systems, yeast and Arabidopsis, under high salt and high osmotic stress conditions. In yeast, the expression of HvPIP2;5 enhanced abiotic stress tolerance under high s...
