Functional and Evolutionary Analysis of the CASPARIAN STRIP MEMBRANE DOMAIN PROTEIN Family [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2014 AbstractCASPARIAN STRIP MEMBRANE DOMAIN PROTEINS (CASPs) are four-membrane-span proteins that mediate the deposition of Casparian strips in the endodermis by recruiting the lignin polymerization machinery. CASPs show high stability in their membrane domain, which presents all the hallmarks of a membrane scaffold. Here, we characterized the large family

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 ...

Chemical genetics uncovers novel inhibitors of lignification, including p-iodobenzoic acid targeting CINNAMATE-4-HYDROXYLASE [PDF]
, 2016 Plant secondary-thickened cell walls are characterized by the presence of lignin, a recalcitrant and hydrophobic polymer that provides mechanical strength and ensures long-distance water transport.

Role of LOTR1 in nutrient transport through organization of spatial distribution of root endodermal barriers [PDF]
, 2017 The formation of Casparian strips and suberin lamellae at the endodermis limits the free diffusion of nutrients and harmful substances via the apoplastic space between the soil solution and the stele in roots [1–3].

Physiological roles of Casparian strips and suberin in the transport of water and solutes [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2021 Summary The formation of Casparian strips (CS) and the deposition of suberin at the endodermis of plant roots are thought to limit the apoplastic transport of water and ions. We investigated the specific role of each of these apoplastic barriers in the control of hydro‐mineral transport by roots and the consequences on shoot growth.

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 ...

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Cadmium (Cd) is a severely toxic and carcinogenic heavy metal. Cigarette smoking is one of the major source of Cd exposure in humans. Nicotiana tabacum is primarily a leaf Cd accumulator, while Nicotiana rustica is a root Cd accumulator among Nicotiana ...

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 ...
