Casparian strips prevent apoplastic diffusion of boric acid into root steles for excess B tolerance [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Casparian strips are ring-like structures consisting of lignin, sealing the apoplastic space between endodermal cells. They are thought to have important functions in controlling radial transport of nutrients and toxic elements in roots.

Cell wall heterogeneity in root development of Arabidopsis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Plant cell walls provide stability and protection to plant cells. During growth and development the composition of cell walls changes, but provides enough strength to withstand the turgor of the cells. Hence, cell walls are highly flexible and diverse in

Regulatory Roles of MYB Transcription Factors in Root Barrier Under Abiotic Stress [PDF]
PlantsPlant roots form highly specialized apoplastic barriers that regulate the exchange of water, ions, and solutes between the soil and vascular tissues, thereby protecting plant survival under environmental stress.
