“…AQPs extensively participated in plant physiological processes under variable environmental stresses [9,10]. Transcript profiles or gene function analyses of AQPs from many plant species, such as Arabidopsis , rice, barley, sorghum, cassava, soybean, and potato, demonstrated that they were associated with drought, cold, salt, silicon, or ABA stress [11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. Recently, several publications reported that AQPs were involved in response to heat stress.…”
