Vacuoles play central roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. To better understand vacuole function and biogenesis we have characterized the vegetative vacuolar proteome from ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves unfurl. This dramatic transformation is a clear signal for us to reach for the ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 66, No. 5 (2015), pp. 1191-1203 (13 pages) Tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs) are integral membrane proteins that are known to function in plants as aquaporins.

The pronounced intracellular accumulation of diverse proteins had surprisingly little impact on the plant morphology because pat4-1 did not show any abnormal phenotypes under standard growth ...

Researchers have filled two knowledge gaps: The vacuoles of plant cells can be excited and the TPC1 ion channel is involved in this process. The function of this channel, which is also found in humans ...
