Which outcome occurs in desert plant roots lacking aquaporins?

💡 Explanation

Reduced aquaporins hinders osmosis; water absorption drops because turgor pressure generation from water transported into the xylem via cohesion-tension is diminished; therefore the desert plant wilts, rather than maintaining regular ion flow.
