• Pollen aquaporins : the solute factor 

      Perez Di Giorgio, Juliana Andrea; Soto, Gabriela Cinthia; Muschietti, Jorge Prometeo; Amodeo, Gabriela (2016)
      In the recent years, the biophysical properties and presumed physiological role of aquaporins (AQPs) have been expanded to specialized cells where water and solute exchange are crucial traits. Complex but unique processes ...
    • Pollen-specific aquaporins NIP4;1 and NIP4;2 are required for pollen development and pollination in Arabidopsis thaliana 

      Perez Di Giorgio, Juliana Andrea; Bienert, Gerd Patrick; Ayub, Nicolás Daniel; Yaneff, Agustín; Barberini, María Laura; Mecchia, Martín Alejandro; Amodeo, Gabriela; Soto, Gabriela Cinthia; Muschietti, Jorge Prometeo (2016)
      In flowers with dry stigmas, pollen development, pollination, and pollen tube growth require spatial and temporal regulation of water and nutrient transport. To better understand the molecular mechanisms involved in ...
    • Prediction of aquaporin function by integrating evolutionary and functional analyses 

      Perez Di Giorgio, Juliana Andrea; Soto, Gabriela Cinthia; Alleva, Karina Edith; Jozefkowicz, Cintia; Amodeo, Gabriela; Muschietti, Jorge Prometeo; Ayub, Nicolás Daniel (Springer, 2014-02)
      Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of channel proteins, which transport water and/or small solutes across cell membranes. AQPs are present in Bacteria, Eukarya, and Archaea. The classical AQP evolution paradigm explains the ...
