Salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes: Development, physiological functions, and prospects for improving crop salt tolerance

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review examines salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes, in which epidermal stem cells differentiate into unicellular, bicellular, or multicellular salt glands. Salt ions are transported to the leaves via the transpiration stream and enter salt glands through symplastic and apoplastic pathways. Finally, salt glands actively secrete salt ions from the

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 ...

A receptor-like kinase mutant with absent endodermal diffusion barrier displays selective nutrient homeostasis defects

eLife, 2014
The endodermis represents the main barrier to extracellular diffusion in plant roots, and it is central to current models of plant nutrient uptake. Despite this, little is known about the genes setting up this endodermal barrier. In this study, we report

Identification of Critical Amino Acid Residues Required for the Polar Localization of a Rice Manganese Transporter

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice has developed an efficient system for manganese (Mn) uptake, mediated by two distinct transporters, OsNramp5 and OsMTP9. These transporters exhibit polar localization at the root exodermis and endodermis; however, the mechanisms underlying their polar localization and their role in Mn uptake remain unclear.

Species-Wide Variation in Shoot Nitrate Concentration, and Genetic Loci Controlling Nitrate, Phosphorus and Potassium Accumulation in Brassica napus L.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Large nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer inputs are used in many crop systems. Identifying genetic loci controlling nutrient accumulation may be useful in crop breeding strategies to increase fertilizer use efficiency and reduce financial and ...

Calcium and Nitrogen Availability Controls Root Exudation in Hydroponically Cultured Barley

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Root exudation is a key component of plant‐rhizosphere interactome. It is increasingly evident that root exudates influence rhizospheric microbial communities and in turn can benefit plants through improved resource allocation. However, how suboptimal nutrient availability relates to control of root exudation is poorly understood.

Cross‐Species Plasticity and Divergence Under Alkaline Soil Signature Conditions Differentiating PYE From FIT Target Transcripts in the Arabidopsis thaliana Ferrome

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil pH is an influential abiotic environmental factor. Here, we identify responses to central stimuli associated with calcareous alkaline soils in Arabidopsis and comparatively explore the potential of the closely related Arabidopsis halleri for addressing how plants cope with local soil pH.

Endophyte‐induced systemic spatial reprogramming of metabolism in Populus trichocarpa roots under drought

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 438-454, July 2026.
Summary Beneficial, facultative endophytes help plants thrive in challenging environments by altering their host's metabolism, but how these cellular scale metabolic changes propagate to the systems biology scale is unknown. In this work, we employed a high‐resolution chemical imaging approach to map metabolic changes at the Populus trichocarpa root ...

Characterization of Microbotryum lychnidis-dioicae Secreted Effector Proteins, Their Potential Host Targets, and Localization in a Heterologous Host Plant

Journal of Fungi
Microbotryum lychnidis-dioicae is an obligate fungal species colonizing the plant host, Silene latifolia. The fungus synthesizes and secretes effector proteins into the plant host during infection to manipulate the host for completion of the fungal ...

Prevention of Radial Oxygen Loss Is Associated With Exodermal Suberin Along Adventitious Roots of Annual Wild Species of Echinochloa

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Internal aeration is crucial for root growth under waterlogged conditions. Some wetland plants have a structural barrier that impedes oxygen leakage from the basal part of roots called a radial oxygen loss (ROL) barrier.
