Abiotic stresses are the major constraint factors that defect its yield, especially in the rainfed peanut cultivation areas. Aquaporins are proteins that form a large family of more than 30 members in higher plants and play key roles in plant water balance under abiotic stress conditions. To comprehensively understand the functions of aquaporins in peanut, we identified their family genome-wide and characterized the phylogenetics, gene structure, and the conserved motif of the selective filter. In total, 64 aquaporin isoforms were identified, the NIPs were firstly categorized into NIP1s and NIP2s groups based on the phylogenetic analysis and the selective filter structure classification system. Further, we analyzed the gene expression pattern under the salt-stress conditions and found that a TIP3 member is strongly induced by salt stress, which in turn contributed to improved seed germination under salt stress when expressed in Arabidopsis. Our study thus provides comprehensive profiles on the MIP superfamily and their expression and function under salt-stress conditions. We believe that our findings will facilitate the better understanding of the roles of aquaporins in peanuts under salt salt-stress conditions.The telomere protein assemblies in different fungal lineages manifest quite profound structural and functional divergence, implying a high degree of flexibility and adaptability. Previous comparative analyses of fungal telomeres have focused on the role of telomere sequence alterations in promoting the evolution of corresponding proteins, particularly in budding and fission yeast. However, emerging evidence suggests that even in fungi with the canonical 6-bp telomere repeat unit, there are significant remodeling of the telomere assembly. Indeed, a new protein family can be recruited to serve dedicated telomere functions, and then e
