Some plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) aquaporins can facilitate ion transport. Here we report that one of the 12 barley PIPs (PIP1 and PIP2) tested, <i>HvPIP2;8</i>, facilitated cation transport when expressed in <i>Xenopus laevis</i> oocytes. <i>HvPIP2;8</i>-associated ion currents were detected with Na<sup>+</sup> and K<sup>+</sup>, but not Cs<sup>+</sup>, Rb<sup>+</sup>, or Li<sup>+</sup>, and was inhibited by Ba<sup>2+</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, and Cd<sup>2+</sup> and to a lesser extent ...[more]
