    TIPs belong to the aquaglyceroporin protein superfamily and represent a plant‐specific subfamiliy. It has been suggested that diversification of plant aquaporins into the PIP, TIP, NIP, and SIP subfamilies preceded the divergence of bryophytes and tracheophytes (Borstlap, 2002). However, preliminary evidence indicates that differentiation of TIP isoforms might have occurred later as all moss‐specific TIPs form an independent lineage in phylogenetic trees and do not cluster together with seed plant TIPs (Borstlap, 2002).

    This observation indicates that plant NIP function is not limited to the role that they play in nodule symbiosis. Indeed, members of this subgroup have been found in nonvascular plant species such as the moss Physcomitrella patens[53] suggesting that plants developed a need for NIPs early in land plant evolution, and it has been proposed that the origin of NIPs in plants occurred by a vertical gene transfer of a microbial glyceroporin [54]. The first NIPs characterized from nonleguminous plants were Arabidopsis NIP1;1 and NIP1;2 [16,55].
