We study the physiological functions of water-conducting aquaporins and investigate some aquaporins transporting monovalent cations in addition to water. We also report mechanisms for aluminum tolerance and cell-growth regulation of aluminum ions in plants. Furthermore, it is reported that the relationship of transport function and structure regarding guard-cell-type ALMT family malate transporters. To assess the properties of these transporters, we have techniques for functional analyses using a gene expressing system in Xenopus oocytes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/Plant_Mol_Physiol\/company.html\">Link to group homepage<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table class=\"el_table_fix\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 20%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/up_load_files\/areas\/areas09_pstress\/katsuhara(240x320).jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"408\"><\/th>\n<td style=\"width: 80%\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Prof. KATSUHARA Maki<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">E-mail: kmaki<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"> [at]<\/span> okayama-u.ac.jp<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Soil-environmental stress, plant cells, bio-membrane, water transport, ion transport, salt stress, root<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><a class=\"el_linkBtn\" href=\"https:\/\/soran.cc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/html\/b951676f37f51aec74506e4da22f6611_en.html\">Directory of Researchers<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 20%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/up_load_files\/areas\/areas09_pstress\/utsugi(240x320).jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"408\"><\/th>\n<td style=\"width: 80%\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Asst.
