The molecular mechanism underlying the plant response to high vapor pressure deficit (VPD) stress remains unclear. In the present study, the roles of the plasma membrane aquaporin SlPIP1;2 in moderating plant water stress and photosynthetic depression in response to a series of VPD stress conditions are investigated. Plant water stress and photosynthetic depression are gradually exacerbated as VPD increases. The effects of SlPIP1;2 in mediating plant water status and photosynthesis are gradually enhanced as VPD increases. SlPIP1;2 exerts no significant effect on plant water status and photosynthesis under low VPD conditions. Overexpression of SlPIP1;2 moderates plant water stress by enhancing root water uptake under high VPD stress conditions, sustaining stomatal and mesophyll conductance for photosynthetic CO₂ uptake and transport. Consequently, the relatively high CO₂ availability inside chloroplasts in SlPIP1;2-overexpressing plants efficiently moderates photosynthetic depression under high VPD stress conditions. The present study demonstrates that SlPIP1;2 is potentially involved in moderating water stress and photosynthetic depression by sustaining water transport and CO₂ uptake under high VPD stress conditions.
