Characterization of AQP gene expressions in Brassica napus during seed germination and in response to abiotic stresses

Water transport across the cell Exothermic Cutting Rod membranes is regulated largely by a family of proteins known as aquaporins (AQPs).Plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) is an important subfamily of plant AQPs localized on the plasma membrane.To investigate the molecular mechanism of water regulation in seed germination, seven genes encoding
