TL;DR: A function for AtTTIP1;3 and AtTIP5;1 as specific water and urea channels in Arabidopsis pollen is suggested.

TL;DR: Genetic analysis using biofilm formation-related Pseudomonas mutants confirmed the relevance of bacterial root adhesion in the increase in nitrogen content, biomass accumulation and nitrogen fixation rates in wheat roots, the first report of robust BNF in major cereal crops.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that TIP5;1 has unusual characteristics, as its water transport activity is regulated by pH, suggesting that a conserved motif is involved in pH sensing.

TL;DR: Alfalfa's MsAACT1 over-expressing transgenic plants showed salinity tolerance comparable with empty vector transformed plants and enhanced production of squalene without altering the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) activity in salt-stress conditions, suggesting acetoacetyl- CoA thiolase is a regulatory enzyme in isoprenoid biosynthesis involved in abiotic stress adaptation.

TL;DR: Interestingly, inoculation of Arabidopsis, alfalfa, tall fescue and maize with Pf-5 X940 increased the ammonium concentration in soil and plant productivity under nitrogen-deficient conditions.
