Functional Characterization of Date Palm Aquaporin Gene <i>PdPIP1;2</i> Confers Drought and Salinity Tolerance to Yeast and Arabidopsis

Recent studies on salinity tolerance in date palm revealed the discovery of salt-responsive genes including <i>PdPIP1;2</i>, a highly conserved aquaporin gene in plants, which was functionally characterized in this study to investigate its precise role in drought and salinity tolerance....
