Aquaporin expression changes with water deficit.
Perhaps by using Darcy's Law: Darcyâs Law: Jj = -Lpath DYw / âx
Where: L = hydraulic conductivity (how permeable is the pathway)
DYw = water potential gradient
Dx = distance in the pathway
⢠Describe what aquaporins are and how the expression of aquaporins would alter the flow of water through tissues.
⢠As the soil dries out, how does DYw from the soil to the root change?
⢠What could the plant do to maintain DYw and the utility of the aquaporins (look at the equation and recognize that aquaporins increase L)?
