Aquaporin Functionality in Roots of Zea mays in Relation to the Interactive Effects of Boron and Salinity

E. Bastías; N. Fernández‐García; M. Carvajal Plant Biology 2004. doi:10.1055/s-2004-820889

Other claims from this paper (5)

Intervention effect Salinity decreased leaf water potential and osmotic potential in maize.
Intervention effect Salinity decreased stomatal conductance and root hydraulic conductance in maize.
Intervention effect Boron had no effect on maize in these treatments.
Mechanism The weak response of root hydraulic conductance to Hg in salt-stressed roots suggests water channels were greatly reduced or non-functional.
Association Reduced aquaporin functionality in NaCl-treated maize could be related to reduced B concentrations in roots and leaves.
