Feild, T., Sperry, J.S., Sano, Y., Sikkema, E.H., Hacke, U.G.
We tested two hypotheses for how vessel evolution in angiosperms influenced xylem function. First, the transition to vessels decreased resistance to flow-often considered the driving force for their evolution. Second, the transition to vessels compromised safety from cavitation-a constraint...

Although many aspects of salinity tolerance in plants have been thoroughly researched, some of the fundamental aspects of plant water relations remain unclear. The main objective of my thesis research was to examine the role of aquaporin-mediated water transport in salinity tolerance of three...

Congenital hereditary endothelial corneal dystrophy type 2 (CHED2), Harboyan Syndrome (HS) and Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) are caused by SLC4A11 mutations. The majority of SLC4A11 point mutations cause SLC4A11 misfolding and retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This impairs...
