Water channel proteins, aquaporins, play fundamental roles in transmembrane water movements in plants. A new full-length cDNA encoding aquaporin was isolated from the seedlings of Jatropha curcas. The gene of the plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP)from J. curcas (JcPIP2)contained an 843 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 280 amino acids. The amino acid sequence showed 94
