Changes in plasma membrane lipids, aquaporins, and proton pump of broccoli roots, as an adaptation mechanism to salinity

摘要

The counteracting changes in lipid composition and aquaporin expression observed in NaCl-treated plants could allow maintenance of the membrane permeability to water and a higher H^sup +^- ATPase activity, thereby helping to reduce partially the Na^sup +^ concentration in the cytoplasm of the cell while maintaining water uptake via cell-tocell pathways.
