Drought-induced expression of aquaporin genes in leaves of two common bean cultivars differing in tolerance to drought stress.

Abstract excerpt

Aquaporin proteins are part of the complex response of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to drought which affects the quality and quantity of yield of this important crop. To better understand the role of aquaporins in common bean, drought-induced gene expression of several aquaporins was determined in two cultivars, the more drought tolerant Tiber and the less tolerant Starozagorski čern. The two bean...
