“…A variety of roles for these enzymes, particularly the type I H + ‐PPases, have been proposed (Gaxiola et al, 2016 ; Schilling et al, 2017 ), including aiding vacuolar ion sequestration (Gaxiola et al, 1999 , 2001 ) and sugar transportation (Gaxiola et al, 2012 ; Khadilkar et al, 2016 ; Pizzio et al, 2015 ), regulating cytosolic PP i (Ferjani et al, 2011 ) and assisting with nutrient uptake (Paez‐Valencia et al, 2013 ; Yang et al, 2007 , 2014 ). Numerous studies have shown that transgenic plants expressing H + ‐PPases have increased biomass and yield under saline (Bao et al, 2009 ; Cheng et al, 2018 ; Gaxiola et al, 2001 ; Kim et al, 2013 ; Li et al, 2010 ; Pasapula et al, 2011 ; Qin et al, 2013 ; Schilling et al, 2014 ; Shen et al, 2015 ), drought (Bao et al, 2009 ; Gaxiola et al, 2001 ; Park et al, 2005 ; Qin et al, 2013 ; Shen et al, 2015 ), low available nitrogen (Lv et al, 2015 ; Paez‐Valencia et al, 2013 ), and low available phosphorus (Yang et al, 2007 , 2014 ) conditions, as well as in non‐stressed conditions (Gonzalez et al, 2010 ; Li et al, 2005 ; Pizzio et al, 2015 ; Schilling et al, 2014 ; Vercruyssen et al, 2011 ; Wang et al, 2014 ; Yang et al, 2014 ). Recently, it was shown that expression of Arabidopsis AVP1 in bread wheat enhanced biomass production and yield in both field and greenhouse conditions (Regmi et al, 2020 ).…”
