Si permeability of a deficient Lsi1 aquaporin in tobacco can be enhanced through a conserved residue substitution

Abstract Silicon (Si) is a beneficial substrate for many plants, conferring heightened resilience to environmental stress. A plant's ability to absorb Si is primarily dependent on the presence of a Si‐permeable Lsi1 (NIP2‐1) aquaporin in its roots. Structure‐function analyses of Lsi1 channels f...
