Popis: The water uptake capacity of plant roots (i.e. their hydraulic conductivity, Lp r ) is determined in large part by aquaporins of the plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) subfamily. In the present work, we investigated two stimuli, salicylic acid (SA) and salt, because of their ability to induce an accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and an inhibition of Lp r concomitantly in the roots of Arabidopsis plants. The inhibition of Lp r by SA was partially counteracted by preventing the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) with exogenous catalase. In addition, exogenous H 2 O 2 was able to reduce Lp r by up to 90% in
