Abstract
⺠Two cDNAs isoforms of PIPs from durum wheat have been sequenced and characterized. ⺠The Pf of TdPIP2;1 increased rapidly indicating that it forms a functional water channel. ⺠Whereas, TdPIP1;1 or truncated forms had Pf values similar to water-injected oocytes. ⺠TdPIP1;1 and TdPIP2;1 proteins were localized to the cell plasma membrane. ⺠Overexpression of TdPIP1;1 and TdPIP2;1 produced higher salt and drought tolerance.
