Chemical components, physiological functions and regulation mechanism of plant Casparian strips [PDF]
SCIENTIA SINICA Vitae, 2020 Casparian strips are diagnostically modified structure mainly appeared in the endodermis, in which the radial parts of the cell walls are characterized by the deposition of lignin and suberin in the primary cell wall. As a barrier to the apoplastic movement of solutes from the cortex to the stele, Casparian strips are essential for the exclusion of ...

Regulation of a plant aquaporin by a Casparian strip membrane domain protein‐like [PDF]
Plant, Cell & Environment, 2019 AbstractThe absorption of soil water by roots allows plants to maintain their water status. At the endodermis, water transport can be affected by initial formation of a Casparian strip and further deposition of suberin lamellas and regulated by the function of aquaporins.

A Missing Link in Radial Ion Transport: Ion Transporters in the Endodermis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 In higher plants, roots have important functions, such as the acquisition of water and ions, as well as transportation into the aerial parts of the plant via the xylem vessels.

Casparian strip diffusion barrier in Arabidopsis is made of a lignin polymer without suberin. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2012 Casparian strips are ring-like cell-wall modifications in the root endodermis of vascular plants. Their presence generates a paracellular barrier, analogous to animal tight junctions, that is thought to be crucial for selective nutrient uptake, exclusion of pathogens, and many other processes. Despite their importance, the chemical

Differential spatial distribution of miR165/6 determines variability in plant root anatomy [PDF]
, 2017 A clear example of interspecific variation is the number of root cortical layers in plants. The genetic mechanisms underlying this variability are poorly understood, partly due to the lack of a convenient model.

Calcium—nutrient and messenger [PDF]
, 2019 Calcium is an essential element needed for growth and development of plants under both non-stressed and stress conditions. It thereby fulfills a dual function, being not only an important factor for cell wall and membrane stability, but also serving as a

Multi-element bioimaging of Arabidopsis thaliana roots [PDF]
, 2016 Better understanding of root function is central for development of plants with more efficient nutrient uptake and translocation. We here present a method for multi-element bioimaging at the cellular level in roots of the genetic model system Arabidopsis

Root zone-specific localization of AMTs determines ammonium transport pathways and nitrogen allocation to shoots. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2018 In plants, nutrient provision of shoots depends on the uptake and transport of nutrients across the root tissue to the vascular system. Nutrient delivery to the vasculature is mediated via the apoplastic transport pathway (ATP), which uses the free space
