Expression Analysis of Sugarcane Aquaporin Genes under Water Deficit by Manassés Daniel da Silva, Roberta Lane de Oliveira Silva, José Ribamar Costa Ferreira Neto, Ana Carolina Ribeiro Guimarães, Daniela Truffi Veiga, Sabrina Moutinho Chabregas, William Lee Burnquist, Günter Kahl, Ana Maria Benko-Iseppon, Ederson Akio Kido

“…At least 10 different potential aquaporin isoform targets and their respective unitags were considered to be promising for future studies and especially for the development of molecular markers for plant breeding. From those 10 isoforms, four (SoPIP2-4, SoPIP2-6, OsPIP2-4, and SsPIP1-1) showed distinct responses towards drought, with divergent expressions between the bulks from tolerant and sensitive genotypes, when they were compared under normal and stress conditions. …”
