Three OsMYB36 members redundantly regulate Casparian strip formation at the root endodermis
The Plant Cell, 2022 Abstract Plants have evolved a lignin-based Casparian strip (CS) in roots that restricts passive diffusion of mineral elements from the soil to the stele. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying CS formation in rice (Oryza sativa), which contains a CS at both the exodermis and endodermis, are poorly understood.

Characterization of Oligopeptides in Solanum lycopersicum Xylem Exudates
Life, 2022 The xylem is the main pathway for the transport of water and molecules from roots to shoots. To date, it has been reported that secreted oligopeptides mediate root-to-shoot signaling, and some long-distance mobile oligopeptides have been detected in ...

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 ...

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.
