Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: MaPIP1|1
• Gene Name: PIP1 subfamily AQP
• Genome:
• Species: Musa acuminata

Functional Descriptions:

• A banana aquaporin gene, MaPIP1|1|MaPIP1|1, is involved in tolerance to drought and salt stresses.
• These results indicate that MaPIP1|1|MaPIP1|1 is targeted to the plasma membrane.
• Reduced expression of ABA-responsive genes in MaPIP1|1|MaPIP1|1-overexpressing plants reflects their improved physiological status.
• Our results demonstrated that heterologous expression of banana MaPIP1|1|MaPIP1|1 in Arabidopsis confers salt and drought stress tolerances by reducing membrane injury, improving ion distribution and maintaining osmotic balance.
