Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The NOD26-like intrinsic proteins (NIP) are one of the five aquaporin protein subfamilies. Aquaporin proteins are known to facilitate water transport through biological membranes. In order to identify NIP aquaporin gene candidates in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), in silico and molecular cloning efforts and subsequent sequence analyses were performed. We report the submission of 12 cotton NIP subfamily genes to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. These data provide structural and functional characteristics of the cotton NIP gene family.
