Water Transport and Aquaporins in Grapevine

  • Chapter
Book cover Molecular Biology & Biotechnology of the Grapevine

Abstract

The main functions of water in plants are to fill the symplast (Cosgrove, 1993), to carry solutes and to balance solar energy by evaporation. All these functions involve water movement between compartments for short or long distances. Typically these movements obey Ohm’s law and are controlled by a gradient of water potential crossing a structure formally analogous to a resistance (or the reciprocal, conductance, Van de Honert, 1948). Basic water relations in grapevines have been previously reviewed by Smart and Coombe (1983). Quantitative measurements for the short distance path in grapevine are rare. Clear information is lacking on the tissue structure and membrane conductivity to document the local root absorption step from the cortex to the stele, and water relations in growing tissues such as root tip, shoot apex and berries require further study. Yet, it is clear that aquaporins, which are proteins mediating transmembrane water transport, probably play an important part in the water status of the different cells and organs.
