eLife, 2022 Efficient uptake of nutrients in both animal and plant cells requires tissue-spanning diffusion barriers separating inner tissues from the outer lumen/soil. However, we poorly understand how such contiguous three-dimensional superstructures are formed in

Dirigent domain-containing protein is part of the machinery required for formation of the lignin-based Casparian strip in the root. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013 The endodermis acts as a second skin in plant roots by providing the cellular control necessary for the selective entry of water and solutes into the vascular system.

Casparian Strip Fortification as a Defense Mechanism to <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>vasinfectum</i> Race 4 Infection in a Highly Resistant <i>Gossypium barbadense</i> Cultivar. [PDF]
Genes (Basel)Background/Objectives: Fusarium wilt of cotton, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (FOV), is a destructive vascular disease that severely impacts cotton production. Among its variants, race 4 (FOV4) is especially aggressive, leading to early

Casparian strip development and its potential function in salt tolerance. [PDF]
Plant Signal Behav, 2011 The root system is particularly affected by unfavourable conditions because it is in direct contact with the soil environment. Casparian strips, a specialised structure deposited in anticlinal walls, are characterised by the impregnation of the primary wall pores with lignin and suberin. The Casparian strips in the endo- and exodermis of vascular plant

Dual roles of suberin deposition at the endodermal Casparian strip in manganese uptake of rice. [PDF]
J Exp BotAbstract Rice roots are characterized by having two Casparian strips (CSs) at the exodermis and endodermis, where transporters for mineral nutrients are expressed. However, the exact role of the CS in expression of the transporters and subsequent nutrient uptake is poorly understood.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Drought is the most serious adversity faced by agriculture and animal husbandry industries. One strategy that plants use to adapt to water deficits is modifying the root growth and architecture.

Single-cell transcriptome sequencing atlas of cassava tuberous root
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionSingle-cell transcriptome sequencing (ScRNA-seq) has emerged as an effective method for examining cell differentiation and development. In non-model plants, it hasn't been employed very much, especially in sink organs that are abundant in ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 In this paper, we present a detailed and comprehensive mathematical model of active and passive ion and water transport in plant roots. Two key features are the explicit consideration of the separate, but interconnected, apoplastic, and symplastic ...

A peptide hormone required for Casparian strip diffusion barrier formation in Arabidopsis roots [PDF]
, 2017 Plants achieve mineral ion homeostasis by means of a hydrophobic barrier on endodermal cells called the Casparian strip, which restricts lateral diffusion of ions between the root vascular bundles and the soil. We identified a family of sulfated peptides

Plant epithelia: What is the role of the mortar in the wall?
PLoS Biology, 2018 In a growing plant root, the inner vascular system is sealed off by an epithelium, the endodermis. The space between all of the cells in the endodermal layer is filled with an impermeable mass called the Casparian strip, which closes the spaces between ...
