Open AccessPlasma membrane aquaporins of the PIP1 and PIP2 subfamilies facilitate hydrogen peroxide diffusion into plant roots
The permeability of plasma membrane aquaporins (PIPs) to small solutes other than water greatly diversifies their potential functions in plant development and metabolic processes. One such process is stress si...

Significant improvement in the electrochemical properties of a uniformly Ti-doped high-Ni cathode material fabricated using a wet process
To improve the poor structural safety and cycling performance of high-Ni cathode materials, we used a wet synthesis method instead of the conventional solid-phase synthesis method. In this study, uniformly Ti-...

Functionally redundant LNG3 and LNG4 genes regulate turgor-driven polar cell elongation through activation of XTH17 and XTH24
In this work, we genetically characterized the function of Arabidopsis thaliana, LONGIFOLIA (LNG1), LNG2, LNG3, LNG4, their contribution to regulate vegetative architecture in plant. We used molecular and biophys...

Proteomics Analysis of Embryo and Endosperm from Mature Common Buckwheat Seeds
We used proteomics analysis to generate the profiles of proteins in the endosperm and embryo of common buckwheat grains. These differentially expressed proteins are potentially involved in seed metabolism. Ext...

Transgenic Arabidopsis and tobacco plants overexpressing an aquaporin respond differently to various abiotic stresses
Despite the high isoform multiplicity of aquaporins in plants, with 35 homologues including 13 plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) in Arabidosis thaliana, the individual and integrated functions of aquapori...

Formation of nano-sized grains in Cu and Cu−Fe−P alloys by accumulative roll bonding process
Mechanical properties and formation of nano-sized grains in Cu and Cu−Fe−P alloys by the accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process were investigated. Nano-sized grains were successfully obtained in OFC and PMC-9...
