Genome-wide identification， structure characterization， and expression pattern profiling of aquaporin gene family in cucumber.

Aquaporin (AQP) proteins comprise a group of membrane intrinsic proteins (MIPs) that are responsible for transporting water and other small molecules， which is crucial for plant survival under stress conditions including salt stress. Despite the vital role of AQPs， little is known about them in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).
