A Survey of Barley PIP Aquaporin Ionic Conductance Reveals Ca<sup>2+</sup>-Sensitive <i>HvPIP2;8</i> Na<sup>+</sup> and K<sup>+</sup> Conductance

Some plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) aquaporins can facilitate ion transport. Here we report that one of the 12 barley PIPs (PIP1 and PIP2) tested, <i>HvPIP2;8</i>, facilitated cation transport when expressed in <i>Xenopus laevis</i> oocytes. <i>HvPIP2;8</i&g...
