| Popis: | Drought stress alters gene expression and causes cellular damage in crop plants. Drought inhibits photosynthesis by reducing the content and the activity of the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle, ultimately decreasing the crop yield. The role of aquaporins in improving the growth and adaptation of crop plants under drought stress is of importance. Aquaporins form channels and control water transport in and out of the cells and are associated with drought tolerance mechanisms. The current review addresses:(1) the evolution of aquaporins in plants, (2) the classification of plant aquaporins, (3) the role of aquaporins in drought alleviation in crop plants, (4) the phytohormone crosstalk with aquaporins in crops exposed to drought stress.
